Signs the hard way

Well I am up and cannot sleep. We had some unexpected company at 2:30am. My husbands nephews came by to visit and to tease. While they had great fun doing so it now has me up and unable to sleep. I went to the emergency room today because I was having a reaction to a medicine I am taking and walked out with pneumonia. I knew I was not feeling well for awhile but that was a surprise. I have been wondering for several weeks why I am having so many things go wrong with me when all I want to do is return to my little slice of heaven in Mexico. Now I know it was the medicine I am allergic to. I would never have put my symptoms together if I had not been stayed by my foot and seen a doctor who picked up on it! So now I am already feeling better on the one hand because I am stopping this medicine I have been on for years yet I have pneumonia on the other. So on this trip to Texas I have found I am allergic to two medicines I take; I am content to go without replacement ones for now just to get back to my little casita. Obviously I am staying put though until the rest of me heals. If I paid more attention to the signs in my life I probably would have been spared the foot injury that came my way to slow me down. I would have been winging it back to Mexico and in trouble; if not for being hobbled; thus seeing several doctors and one noticing the medication issues that I was blind to because I had been on them for awhile and it just felt normal to feel this bad! There is something to be said for paying attention to oneself first and others later You; will live longer! I would go on more however my cat wants my lap now. Live with Love and Laugh Often
