Pneumonia!

Yes, I've got pneumonia.

It started on Sunday with 10 hours of violent vomitting, not the usual start for pneumonia.  I kept trying to think of something I had eaten that would cause a 24 hour stomach bug.

By Monday I was recovered from that, but I was very lethargic and developing a cough with a distinct rattle.  By Wed, we headed for emerg, and after a long wait including two chest x-rays, I got the diagnosis and was put on antibiotics,

I'm taking it easy, and will get back to posting when I have something interesting to say!

  7. Like Jenn, a Covid test would have been a good idea, down here, vomiting is also one of the symptoms. Hope you get better soon with the meds, meantime hope some sunshine will help the healing.

  14. So sorry to hear you're sick...have had pneumonia twice so far this year. It's no fun. And it does tend to take it out of one...energy. Use yours to heal. Don't try to do anything else. Your life is requiring your attention at this point. I know at least from my experiences that a month would go by before I was back to where I had started, or anywhere near.
