Health update

[kierthos]

I have walking pneumonia. I also have Baxim (an antibiotic) for it, and an Albuterol (I think I'm spelling that right) inhaler to help me breathe.

The doctor said it still could take over a week for it to clear up completely, but at least it will clear up now. Hopefully, when the cough goes, the back pain in the middle of my back will go with it.

Ah, but what about the boogie woogie flu?

I wonder how much it would cost me to have your wife beat you.

So, you back out of work, or continuing to work through the sickness?

Continuing to work. I'm actually coughing a lot less (thank the antibiotics for that), and I'm breathing mostly normally.

Good. That you are feeling better. When I had walking pneumonia over Thankgiving a number of years ago, I couldn't do much. Well, Mom wouldn't let me do much. Which got me out of doing the dishes at least. But I did have to drink something every 15 minutes.

Yeah, it seems to help a lot when I drink something. Mind you, at work, my options are limited to water or soda. Now if I could remember to bring my pink lemonade mix into work, the water would be useable....
