I came in today with my man voice still, so they did a chest xray since it's been three weeks since the first one.
I have pneumonia. Lovely.
I knew I was sick. I got two shots in the ass, more antibiotics, more cough meds, another pill (can't think of it at the moment), and was told to go home and NO going out this weekend. Fuck.
I can't even play tennis and I just bought rackets last night to play with my BFF Mel. This sucks. I feel really well all things considered. I am a little tired, as I always am towards the end of the week, but I feel okay. The only sign of me being sick is my voice and the cough attacks. I can't breathe very well laying down, talking loud, laughing, or doing too much too fast.
I know this sounds horrible, but I had a guy friend ask me and Mel out tomorrow night and we really want to go since he won't be home for the next few weeks, and I am seriously considering resting up until tomorrow night, going out, then starting my meds Sunday. I know that sounds bad and my doctors would kill me if they even knew I was *thinking* about it. But I just can't help it! I know I should be careful before I end up in the hospital though. Sigh.

Okay, so I'm usually not harsh like this, and you can tell me to go to hell, but...
I had pneumonia and didn't think it was that big of a deal and went on working, socializing, etc.
BAD IDEA!
I was finally admitted to the hospital because I got so sick. It's the closest I've ever come to feeling like I was going to die.
Please stay home. Don't go out. REST. Before it gets a lot worse.
I mean... how long have you been sick?
Your body (and you!) deserve the downtime. Please take care of yourself.
Hugs.
-D.
I would never tell you to go to hell! :-)
I know I need to rest up. I'm just finding it so, so hard to do. Infact tonight alone I have cleaned my bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom and ran to Walmart and Sams Club..and I've only been up 5 hours from my nap earlier.
It's so boring to just rest.
I've been sick since the Friday before Labor Day...a month. Probably the reason I now have pneumonia...I know :-(
Hugs to you too!
