I’ll find out in two days whether I have endocarditis.
I’ve been running some impressive fevers in the Emergency Room — over 102 degrees F.
I don’t have the flu. I do have pneumonia. They’re admitting me to the hospital and I’ll be on IV antibiotics.
I never know how appropriate or seemly it is to talk about my health issues, even though that’s something I’ve been dealing with my whole life.
Personally, I’d rather show you this picture, which I took sometime yesterday morning:
That’s the book “Quiet,”which I took with me to the hospital. The cat I will need to wait to see until I get home.
Thanks to all my readers, quiet and non-quiet.

I hope you get good news.
Thank you!
I am hoping the news is good. I am staying confident.
Thanks, Alex.
Take care of yourself, we will be here wishing the best for you.
Thanks so much.
Hoping you receive good news, and get home soon! x
Thank you, Michele.
Hoping for good news. In my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for all of this.
So sorry you are in hospital. I hope you are home again very soon with your lovely cat and beautiful sea view.
I love that you thought you saw the sea in that photo. I thought it was just a street, but who knows?
Get well…
Thanks, David.
I suspect your situation trumps my intestinal flu. My fever broke last night, and I was literally drenched in sweat. Had to change t-shirts, and then get back into a cold, wet bed. Time for a Kaopectate pharmacy run this morning, too.
There. Hopefully, this disclosure will make you feel better about yours. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. <3
This did make me feel better. Mission accomplished.
Hope you are feeling better very soon!
Thank you!
Oh, Ann, you are in my prayers. My heart just squeezed tight when I read this! Know you are loved and I will be there holding your hand. Sending you LOTS of LOVE. (((HUGS))) Amy
Thanks, Amy, for that loving heart of yours.
Ann, Luv, you are most definitely in that heart of mine, and I am praying for you. In all I do, my thoughts are with you. (((HUGS))) Amy
aww o no hope you feel better soon …Take it easy and take care ~<3 Neha
Thank you so much.
Thinking of you, and hoping for your speedy recovery.
Thank you, Maxine!
I’m so sorry you’re sick, Ann. Prayers for you to feel better soon and for you to receive good news about your health. Your lovely cats will be so glad to see you when you get home.
Thank you for this lovely comment.
Cool
I am actually still running fevers so I am not cool yet!
Hang in there. Starting to feel judgmental towards that fever…
Love this comment, Jeff.
I will love it when I hear you are back at home writing your daily early morning commentary by yer cat.
That does sound particularly loverly.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Ann!

Thanks, Diana!
Wishing you a speedy and full recovery, and looking forward to hearing from you. Glad you’re taking care of yourself.
I appreciate all you wrote here, Rob. Thanks!
Stay optimistic. A speedy recovery.
Thank you for the wonderful wishes.
Sending prayers for healing and good health, plus a dash of comfort and courage. I hope you are back home soon to pet that gorgeous cat.
So wonderful to see you. Thanks!
I’m so glad that you went to the hospital. I hope that you recover quickly and that everyone there smiles at you.
Thank you so much, Maureen. People are wearing masks so I can’t tell if they’re smiling. But thanks to you, I’ll assume they are.
Take good care of yourself and returb=n roon .

Praying for you Ann. I have my own health issues, so I know the story well. Concentrate on getting well now.
I appreciate your understanding, very much. I will do my best.
Sending prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery Ann!!
Thank you so much.
I loudly send my support, best wishes, prayers and love from Syracuse, Ann. Kick that pneumonia in the rear and get back home to the cat, BF, son, better spirits and always interesting blog posts, my friend.
Thanks, friend Mark!
Hoping for the best and that you get better soon.
Thanks so much.
Oh Ann! I have been off line for a few days and just saw your post. I am so sorry to hear that you are ‘under the weather’ — I so hope you are feeling better soon. — one thing I do know, no matter how you feel, you always shine brightly. Love and hugs my friend.
This brightened me up, Louise!
God bless you in your journey to health. It’s your blog and it’s alway OK for you to share your concerns. I will pray for you today.
Thank you, Rebecca!
Best wishes for a quick recovery, Ann! 😉
Thank you, CSM!
Get well soon, Ann.
Thanks so much, MIchael.
May you get the best possible care and have the best possible outcome, Ann.
Russ
Thank you for this wonderfully kind comment, Russ.
Ann, Hope you’re out of there soon and feeling better. Miss you.
Mark
Thanks, Mark. I miss you, too.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
Thank you!
Thinking about you and wishing you wellness.
I love the wish of wellness, especially from you.
As much as I always hate being there, I know that when they put me in that slammer, that’s where I need to be. Sending you good karma and good healthy vibes.
Good karma and vibes make the slammer much nicer.
Yup! I never got to blog from there, though!
Hang in there. Hope you have good news. How did you manage to blog from hospital?
There was Wi Fi access (although it had some limitations). And thanks for the encouragement!
🙂 🙂
I hope you’re feeling much better by now, Ann. Take care and give that cat a hug from me when you get the chance. 😉
I just gave the cat a hug for you, Judy. I was feeling well enough, today (over a month later from the post date) to return to work. This kind comment from you helped complete my day!
Glad to hear this good news. <3
