I did the pneumonia-in-the-ICU thing in the before times. One thing they stressed was sitting up in a chair as often as possible, and I was cheered on by the staff if I coughed. Popsicles were a food group, as far as I was concerned. It seems as if the skies have opened on you, what with hubby and car and holidays all happening at once, and I echo the others who have been urging you to practice some self-care. In the meantime, HUG, and I hope for smoother sailing ahead.
I wish you and all you love the best Christmas ever. To all the orbsters, no matter what you celebrate, I hope for happiness, peace, and joy for you and yours. <3
I think keeping them inside is a very sensible idea.
