I have been sick, pretty much since Christmas day, with pneumonia. The pneumonia hasn't been severe enough to put me in the hospital or even keep me from performing necessary duties....I've been getting the kids back and forth to school and to appointments, sort of keeping up on the housework, make sure everyone has clean clothes and doing my part-time job...but, I've had to do this all while coughing horribly, sometimes to the point of throwing up, and I haven't been able to sleep all that well, because I really cannot lay down. As soon as I do, my lungs and bronchial tubes just fill with fluid. I've been up almost all night long for more nights than I can remember, and tend to just take naps on our recliner.
So, I'm just exhausted. I've only made it to church maybe three or four times since Christmas, and I miss church, but, I just have no energy to do much beyond what is strictly necessary to get through a day, nor do I want to be a distraction to the congregation with the severe coughing that I am experiencing.
Yes, I have gone to the doctor's several times, and get put on medication...and as soon as the medication is finished, I get it right back again.
I had felt pretty good, like I was getting over this for the past two days or so, then yesterday it hit me again and I was up coughing until almost 6:00am...
So, I'm asking if y'all will pray for me. I'm also going to talk with my pastor and ask if he will anoint me with oil and prayer.
