Crud turned to Pneumonia

I have been battling the "crud" for two weeks and got two shots and 3 different medications 9 days ago.  This past Tuesday I began hearing a rattle in my chest and knew that I needed to get back to the Dr.  I returned to the Dr. on Wednesday to be informed that I now have pneumonia. I was told to stay in, lay low and return to be rechecked this morning.  So, I have been doing just that, not an easy task for me, but I do know the seriousness of pneumonia and want to hopefully prevent it from getting out of hand.   I am fully expecting a good report this morning.  The breathing treatment and new meds seem to definitely be working.  I can no longer hear myself wheezing.  I'm thinking in another couple of days that I will be able to ease back into a "normal routine."  

 I decided today to link with both Linda and Rachel Anne. My brain is not thinking too clearly with all the drugs and I thought the prompt of questions would be most helpful. ~smile~  

How strict were teachers when you were in school? I don't know that I ever thought of any of my teachers as strict. I just knew they expected certain things from me, and I usually did my best to fulfill those expectations.


What were common methods of discipline? No recess? Writing sentences? Being sent to the principal's office?
In "my day" you were in big time trouble if you got sent to the principal's office. I'm pleased to report that I was never sent to the principals office.  I was kept in line by having my recess taken away or writing sentences.  Missing recess was awful in my estimation and it served as a good cure for whatever was ailing me.  I did write my share of sentences but that never bothered me all that much.  I was a very fast writer and knocked those out pretty quickly.~grin~
 
Were "pops" or "swats" allowed? Did you ever get in "big" trouble at school? If so, what was it for and what happened to you? Were you ever suspended from school?If you got in trouble at school, what happened at home? Oh, definitely "pops" and "swats" were allowed and I do remember one time I got two swats for talking. I was called up in front of the class and the teacher took care of her business and I sat back down. It hurt my pride more than my behind. ~chuckle~  No, it would have all been over but the shouting if I had ever gotten suspended from school.  My parents were in complete agreement with school discipline and even though all of my discipline issues surrounded too much talking, my parents took it very seriously and addressed it with me when I got home.

Was school lunch a pretty relaxed environment or was discipline maintained in the cafeteria as well?  Lunch was very much relaxed time and I have no recollection of there ever being any discipline issues.  It was a time of visiting with friends and a time that I always looked forward to.  Plus, I remember they always served the BEST hot rolls with honey that I'd ever put my "smackers" on. ~grin~
 

If you are a teacher, what have you vowed never to do as a result of your experiences growing up? n/a

I look forward to stopping by and visiting with many of you today as I continue to "lay low."  I am just amazed at what awesome gals I've linked up to through the blogging world  What a blessing you have been to me!

May the Lord fill you with love that knows no boundaries.
