This is the first day in over a week that I’m not running a temperature and I feel well enough to go to that painting class tonight if I rest today. I made a deal with my doctor to stay out of the hospital. I go by for a quick check up by the doctor each day and we’re both happy.

My family really banded around me during this illness. It was nice.

When I’m physically sick, I seem to be stable mental illness wise. Hallelujah!

I hope everyone has a peaceful day and evening. Much love

Hi Sunflower123, I'm sorry to read that your flu turned even worse...to pneumonia. That is concerning that you've had it in the past. I hope a pulmonologist can give you something (or at least advice) to prevent it in the future. Did you manage to get to your painting class?

Your family was good to show you that they care. It should be the case for all families. I'm sure that also helped you stay mentally well during that hard time.
