Second Dose of Antibiotics

I'm getting better, but I'm on a second dose of antibiotics for my respiratory infection. I just hope and pray this will do the trick. I feel stronger, but every time I do sometime like climb the stairs I'm out of breath and start coughing again. Which is not normal for me. Any kind of activity is an energy sapper...just watching re-runs of "Bones" on my laptop. That forces me to rest and takes my mind off of my health.
Is this the dog days of Summer? Appropriate for me;I feel like a dog. LOL
