Resting in a sitting position

This is much harder than it sounds. If I want to rest and relax, my first inclination is to be prone, and G-d knows I've done a ton of that around chemo. But I know if I am sitting up, my chest will clear all day and I won't be stuck with deep coughing just to clear it. My research about pneumonia tells me that the antibiotic I was given is to prevent viral pneumonia from becoming bacterial pneumonia, but it will in no way make it get better faster.

I am steaming myself (shower full-on hot, me standing there coughing) daily, staying warm, forcing fluids and NOT running errands or going to yoga. I am driving my boys where they need to go this morning in my bathrobe.

It's VERY hard for me not to run around and have fun. I possess only two speeds - fast and stop. I've overused stop recently, when can I go fast again?

And the frikkin rain!!!!
