I realize some of you might be worrying about me (thank you, your so sweet) Please don't worry, I'm still getting along okay.
a couple days ago I had my worst 2 days of chest pain and nausea on top of respiratory distress and all I could do was lay around and keep the fire in my wood stove going.

Today I am feeling a bit better than that, the chest pain in minimal but my respiratory distress continues. I was going back through my notes and I am now on day 12 of trouble breathing, after an initial 5 days of a sore throat with a headache. So in total I've been sick for 17 days now.

This stuff is no joke, and is exhausting. I am working as much as I can but it's tough and I have to rest more than I'm willing to.
Right now I just want celebrate my birthday in 2 weeks free of this sickness. My heart goes out to everyone suffering right now. Stay strong, we can get through this!!
