My good friend came by with soup, cornbread, brownies, magazines and dvds. This girl was my best friend in middle and high school. We did everything together for 5 years. Then we had a huge falling out, and I did not speak to her for a long time. We saw each other and were cordial, but we did were not friends. This summer we reconnected via facebook---and started getting together again and it is like we never drifted apart. The great thing about small town life is that the people who have known you your whole life usually remain a part of it forever. And in a crisis, you can count on them to step up and help out.
I am still running a high fever. I am keeping it down by alternating tylenol and advil every couple of hours---if I go without, it spikes again to 102-103. I have a nasty cough. And I hurt---every inch of me. Even my toes and fingers hurt. But, I will get through this. Dr. did a chest xray yesterday just to check on my lungs and they are clear. My biggest concern is pneumonia--hopefully my last pneumonia shot will hold it at bay.
