I woke up this morning sweating something awful. That doesn't sound very good except that for the past week I have been running a fever and freezing to death. I was cold in the hospital yesterday, but when I left by the time I got to the car I was shivering to badly that I had a hard time getting the key in the door. I also finally have a voice. That could be good or bad depending on your point of view. Lastly I'm beginning to have a little energy. Now if I could just get some appetite back I'd be fine.
My Husband is still in the hospital. They started him on steroids last night to try to get his lungs cleared out. I was pretty sure it would come to that. It always does anymore. The bad part is that the steroids have started messing with his blood sugar, so now when they put him on them he always ends up having to take insulin as well. The dietitian told us that it will only get worse as time goes on and that he may well end up being insulin dependent all the time. Some people do.
When the put him in the hospital they said they were just keeping him over night. They almost always say that and they almost always keep him several days. I sometime wonder if they really believe what they are saying or if they are trying to keep me from worrying and think that I am still that gullible after all this time. I don't know. I guess in the long run it doesn't really matter.
On top of everything else the car has started giving me trouble. I also have jury duty tomorrow. Our pastor has said that he will pick up my husband if he gets to come home tomorrow while I'm at the courthouse, so that is taken care of in a way. I would still prefer to be here when he comes home though.

Bless your heart my sweet friend, keeping you, and your family covered in prayers.
Oh gosh, Denise, what a rough time you are having. I am adding my prayers to Denise's. I sure hope you are over the worst of being sick. The flu can stick around for weeks. In Ontario they make a big deal of getting your flu shot in the fall. They really push it on you. I have never gotten one, though. I guess I should, but I just never seem to get the flu, so I'm not that motivated to get it. I guess if I got sick for a couple of weeks I'd probably change my mind ;) Get well soon!
I don't know if a flue shot would have helped. They say that the CDC guessed wrong this year and made a vaccine for the wrong strain of flue. Even people who got their shot are getting the flue. That would be the pits; going to the trouble to get a shot and then getting the flue as well.
