Hang in there Glenda. When your lungs are involved, it is very important to get up and move around as much as possible to keep the infection from setting in deeper, assuming that it is safe for you to walk. Breathe in as deeply as you can several times, several times daily to help keep the air circulatiing in the parts of the lungs that are not used every day so that the bad stuff does not stick to the walls and deepen your infection.

I have had several bouts of pneumonia and other lung infections over the years including PCP. bumps in the road, inconvenient, but surmountable.
