1. After three weeks, “taking it easy” becomes completely overrated.
2. Daytime television is horrible, but middle-of-the-night television is even worse. At one point, you may find yourself so desperate that you watch an episode of Three’s Company. Shudder.
3. After two chest x-rays and a lung scan where you have to breathe radioactive gas through a tube, you’ll realize that if the flu, pneumonia or possible pulmonary embolism won’t kill you, the radiation eventually will.
4. Chicken and noodles is good.
5. Pain medicine is even better.
6. You may be so out of it that you won’t realize new carpet is being installed until it’s already been laid, covered with mud and cleaned up.
7. When no one will come near you, your dog’s affection is absolutely wonderful.
8. Even if that dog stinks.
9. Once you feel better and tell people you’re no longer contagious they will still take two steps back if you come near them.
10. You may come home from the hospital to find flowers, home-cooked food and groceries all over your kitchen.
11. And then you will realize how lucky you really are.

–>I'm so glad you're feeling better finally. I guess being sick makes you appreciate being healthy but there has to be other ways to recognize it….right?

Hooray! You're back and feeling better! Glad to hear it. And the part about groceries and home-cooked food is pretty sweet.

You are loved, my dear. Glad you're on the mend. I totally get that rest thing being overrated. It's only good until you actually want to be active, but your body says nothin' doin'.

Woo hooo to feeling better (and pain meds)
Pain management
most used drugs are opioid narcotics because it contains codeine, as it is the most commonly used for this type of pain, according findrxonline on its theme "chronic pain".

Feel better. We're all sick too, but thankfully it's somewhat in control. It's that time of year …
Big hugs to you!

I'm so glad that you're home and starting to feel better! And I hear ya on the lung scan. I botched my first attempt because I was panicking (who knew I was breathing-related claustrophobic-ish?). I nailed the second on though. woot!

Glad you are home and feeling better. I concur that pain medication is better than chicken and noodles. In fact I thin it is better than most things.
