St. Patrick's Day and the CRUD!

Wednesday morning I went to the pool early; I spent the remainder of the morning cleaning, doing laundry, etc. Wednesday evening Joyce & Bz came to play cards. We girls really were lucky; we won 3 out of 4 games! We played until midnight--which is very late for us.
Thursday morning I woke with a barking hack. I skipped the pool and lazed around the house all day. We were invited to Wipers for corned beef and cabbage to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The meal was delicious! We stayed for one game of rummy and were home by 9. I continued to struggle with my cough.
Friday I woke feeling really terrible. I ached all over and my cough/asthma had worsened. I had a fever all day. I didn't even get dressed or comb my hair. It was a miserable, long day. Friday night we were invited to Gordy and Peggy's for supper; Gary had to go without me. I lay in bed and listened to the Sioux hockey game. It was a nail-biter, but the Sioux managed to hang on to win 4-3.
Saturday morning I was up early (I coughed through the night) and we were at FirstCare by 8 a.m. when they opened. I got my prednisone, Pulmicort, and Z pack so I should snap out of this crud by tomorrow. I really took it easy the rest of the day. Knitting, eating, and the most strenuous thing I did was listen to the Sioux hockey game...it went into double overtime before they pulled it out! The game lasted 4 hours! I'm exhausted from all that excitement!
