So I woke up feeling less than stellar....

this Saturday. so be it, a really cool rumbling lawnmower had taken residence in the bowls of my lungs, and you know - things just happen. so be it. whatever. allergies. right? right. however I hadn't coupled that rumbling with fact that my energy levels had been dwindling over the past few weeks....

so, some dizziness, some fever, body pain and a really tight slinky sexy cough later - I checked in with my Dr this am who said (prepare for my magnificent paraphrasing)

"Seems like walking pneumonia...but that's ok. It could be worse."

"Huh?"

"Well, it might also be a tumour or perhaps tuberculosis. Lets get you an X-ray."

"Hrmm. I'm on it."

I'll be that Zake Wylde doesn't get this bs pneumonia. In fact,
With all that brown liquor flowing in his black label veins
every microbe passing thru his system is assured certain death! Mycoplasma can never take residence in his Whisky saturated lungs!

Alas, I am not he, and I am not protected by the mythical properties of Johnny Walker and his blended creations.


Without my 10 day supply of Zithromax, I will likely face a fate much like my little lamb friend found.


NOTE: This lamb died from pneumonia. The area of the lung at the tip of the knife is affected lung. The area above the knife tip is normal lung.


For those who are having a moment of care:

"Pneumonia simply means inflammation in the lung. It can be caused by microorganisms, viruses, chemical irritants, or foreign bodies. The phrase "walking pneumonia" refers to a group of pneumonias that, even if untreated, would not confine someone to a hospital, or even to a bed. They can, however, make someone feel miserable with a severe cough, fever, chills, headache, and abdominal pain."

So, with the right meds, all 5 different handfuls + inhaler that I'm taking, all will be well in short order. Well, about 6 weeks until all coughing should subside.
