It's 3:20am and I can't sleep! (I'm trying to type quietly so I don't wake up Katie in the other room. She can sleep through just about anything we watch on TV - loud movies, exciting football games - yet for some reason she can hear my keyboard!) I can't sleep because I'm still very sick. I'm getting worse and it kind of scares me a bit. The doctor I want to see is available on Monday but I don't know if I can take another day of this. (It's Sunday)

My energy is really low. I don't even have the energy to shower! (ew!!) I'm forcing myself to eat something even though I have no appetite. I'm afraid to take a deep breath because a) it hurts and b) it'll throw me into a wild coughing fit. Plus I can't stand hearing the crackling sounds in my chest when I breathe. It's like when you add milk to your rice krispies in the mornings! That's what it sounds like. (ew!!) I can't remember the last time I was this sick.

I know I'm complaining. Sorry! But I need to sneak in one more complaint.... There's nothing on TV in the middle of the night. I'm flipping the channels and I have a overwhelming selection of shows to choose from:

1. Jack the Ripper
2. Pinky and the Brain
3. Truth or Scare
4. My Big Redneck Wedding
5. Foreclosure Secrets
6. Nurse TV
7. Scary Movie III

Maybe I should type a little louder on my keyboard. Playing with Katie at 3:30 in the morning is more entertaining than anything I could possibly find on TV! :)

  1. Hi Heather,
    I just woke up hurting with the stitches in my foot and honestly, thinking about you. I'm no doctor, but it sounds to me like you have pneumonia or pleurisy. Either way, you need to go to the emergency room (or stat care clinic) and get it checked out. You NEED to get better!
    Good Luck -- and you'll be in my prayers.
