An Elephant Has Kept Me Away

Hello to all of my friends and blog readers. I am sorry I am late blogging but I do have an excellent excuse. I have been ill since before Easter and I have learned a few things from this time away.

First, have you ever heard the expression "It feels like an elephant is on my chest"? So you can get the gest of the pain and pressure I have posted a picture of my elephant or at least one of his relatives. I really wish he would join his family. The sooner the better.

When I was younger this would have been something that would set me back maybe a day or two. With the added age compiled to my illness, I have discovered to my dismay that I am not young anymore and I do not "bounce back". So I go to my doctor to help with my "getting over" this mess and I'm still not well. I will be going back as soon as I get yet another appointment.

I have also discovered (per members of the family in the house) that I'm not a "happy" sick person. Go figure. I'm fighting for every breath as I cough with each one I manage and I'm supposed to be happy????

I've also learned that this elephant doesn't move on his own. He has to be coaxed with medicine. The sad thing is that he is picky about which medicine he wants in order to leave. So we try what we "think" will work and then try "something else". Today I am hoping to get the "right formula" to send my elephant on his way. I'll let you know how it goes.

I haven't named him yet, but maybe I should. Any ideas?
