Yes, I'm sidelined. I'm trying to watch what I eat...but exercise is...well a thing that is not really in my vocabulary right now.
For the last two weeks (two and a half actually) I've been experiencing chest pains. A tightness in my chest. At first I just assumed that I was getting a chest cold...but 2.5 weeks later I've finally accepted that something is seriously wrong. (I've not had any coughing or congestion)
SOoooo on Sunday i went to the ER. EKG was fine. Chest x-rays were fine. So they sent me home with an antibiotic and said "you have bronchitis". I've been on the meds now for 3 days....not much relief yet. It feels half way normal (just a tingle when I breathe) in the morning...but as soon as I start moving around it progressivly worsens until by the evening I'm sitting with my hand on my chest. I've also started to accept the fact taht I'm exhausted. I fell asleep last night between 8:30 and 9PM. And other than stumbling to the bedroom at about 10:30...I slept through to 7AM...and would have slept longer if the alarm wouldn't have gone off for Todd. Saturday evening we went into a bookstore at 8PM....A bookstore! And I couldn't even walk through the store....I just wanted to sit down (and did).
Soooo I'm not sure what's up.

Wow - glad you are back - take your time and get well soon! Work-outs can wait!
I have bronchitis and it can hang on for weeks. Usually antibiotics do little for me :( Hope you get to feeling better. Rest is important.
Take care of yourself! I get bronchitis every year, usually around Christmas and it's not nice at all.
