When I was little, I always thought it would be cool to have pneumonia. It just sounded so romantic for some reason.
Well, it's not so romantic. (Heh. Just ask Mr. Pointy Sticks, who I think is about ready to smother me with a pillow.)
Yup. I went to the doctor this evening. I said, "I sort of think I'm wasting your time, it's just that I've had this cough for 2 weeks now." And she said, "Oh, you're not wasting my time. According to the x-rays, there's something going on in your lungs and I think we'll call it pneumonia."
So I have antibiotics and cough syrup with codeine for the night and some little cough pills for the day. Whoo-hoo!
And I think I might just give myself a day off tomorrow. I mean, pneumonia? I think that deserves a day off.
If this is the walking pneumonia, do you suppose the boogie woogie blues will be showing up later?

Eek! Yuck! So sorry. Pneumonia is nasty. I hope those drugs knock it on its ass.
(I developed pneumonia in the middle of nowhere in China and had one of the more miserable adventures of my life with that.)
Well, you haven't coughed out your sense of humor at least! :)
Poor you. Definitely take a day off work! Maybe two.... You probably know to get plenty of fluids & if you like grapefruit juice, try a little of that. It helps dry up mucus.
Feel better soonest. xx
