I'm sick again and just been up to the hospital for the third time in just over a week.
I've been told if I have to come back in the next 48hrs they will admit me for at least a 24hr.
I hate hospitals but being severe asthmatic with a chest infection it doesn't take much for it to escalate to pneumonia.
But I can't just rest as we are getting ready to move.

That sounds serious @Twilightsomniac I hope you can take some time out to rest and take care of yourself too!

I'm trying to but hubby finally got his transfer accepted we are just waiting for set details but we need to be ready to go because he could get his start date any time now and while they still have to give us at least 2 weeks we have to be able to pack up the house and go so going through everything and decluttering and starting to pack non essentials but some areas haven't been touched or gone through since we moved here so dust is also creating issues I'm having to wear a dust mask constantly while cleaning when usually I only need it when empting the vacuum cleaner and cleaning it.
Taking frequent short breaks though and trying to break it up into simple tasks.

@Twilightsomniac That sounds concerning...I have severe asthma too, and you can't mess with asthma. I hope you are able to pace yourself and take a bit of rest at least...

Hi @Twilightsomniac,
Hope you are feeling a bit better today. Being a severe asthmatic is no fun but I agree with you you that it doesn't take much for it to escalate to pneumonia.
I hope the move goes smoothly and you get a much needed rest soon.
Warm wishes,
FloatingFeather

Evening @FloatingFeather, @NatureLover and @Paperdaisy
I've not had the best time , while I haven't had to go to the hospital again I still don't feel any better.
I've got family stressing me out due to different things though I can handle what's going on with my baby sis who's just found out she's 8 weeks I get annoyed that they always tell me last when someone is pregnant in the family cause they think I won't handle it as I've been trying for years and had 9 miscarriages but I've still got 1 happy healthy kid so I'm grateful for that.
The rest of the family well... I don't feel like discussing that
Then I'm also tryna sort the house out ready to move but I start and the enormity of the job hits and I get overwhelmed even when I break it up into smaller tasks.
I'm still pretty sick to so I've only been able to work for five minutes at a time so I don't aggravate my asthma/chest infection or get dizzy
