Tuesdays... but not with Dorie

Even though today's recipe, Tiramisu Cake, from Megan at My Baking Adventures looks nice, I am still weltering in my illness and I am not doing either baking or cooking. So far I am in my third week of significant illness: this actually feels far worse than when I had pneumonia twenty years ago. I am on day 3.5 of some extremely big antibiotic pills (and quite new as well) but I am still taking drags off the inhaler as my lungs sound like they are full of crinkled up plastic bags and wax paper. The coughing has decreased to the point where I no longer think that I will break a rib, but it is still ongoing, and I just don't have a huge amount of energy. Even though I napped last evening, when I woke around midnight I had a great deal of trouble feeling that I was oxygenated enough to go to sleep and wound up staying up for about 2 hours feeling panicked. I'm hoping that I feel better by tomorrow.

It sounds like you have what I had in Dec. The doctor gave me antibiotics, cough suppressants and coresone (to heal the inside of my lungs after a month of nonstop coughing). Hope you feel better soon.

Oooh, sorry you're feeling so crappy. I know that feeling of not being able to get enough air and it's just awful. Hopefully this will be the turning point and you'll start recovering soon.
