It is like living in a dirty fishbowl....

We here in Utah should be so proud. We keep making the list of the top 10 cities with the dirtiest air. Gross just gross. I kept wondering what was wrong with me and why I was having such a terrible time breathing. Well I kept blaming this horrible air but that is only part of the problem.

I have had a terrible cough since before Thanksgiving. I went to the doctor back then and was diagnosed with Bronchitis, given cough syrup and antibiotics. I went through the antibiotics but the cough still remained. Being so busy I just put up with it. Over Christmas though, the cough was getting so bad that I couldn't breath. I would get "Brain freeze headaches" from coughing so hard.

Yesterday I had enough. I just felt so terrible I called into the doctors but she is out of town. So they scheduled me with her assistant. He listened to my lungs and decided to do an x-ray.

He said this is why I can't breath.

Pneumonia!!!!

So I am now home from work for the rest of the Christmas vacation. I am banned from going outside.So no sledding, No tubing, No building our castle. There will be no New Years "Eve" Festival for me. The doctor says I have to stay in bed and rest.

Although, I am guessing that isn't to bad of a thing.
