Down but not out

I developed a bad case of pnemonia last week. Couldn't blow out the candles on my birthday cake. The doc put me on some roto rooter antibiotics, an inhaler and some codiene cough syup and says I'll be better in about 5 more days.

Needless to say I'm not moving around much but at least I'm starting to mend.

I'll catch up with you guys as I can.

Kevin took the words right off my keyboard.

Have a happy unbirthday when you feel better. And hope you're better soon.

Oh, geez, that's lousy. Hope you feel better soon, it's no fun being sick at Thanksgiving-or any other time, but Thanksgiving is pig-out guilt-free day. How's the diet going, by the way? How much have you lost so far?

Get better soon, man. I know that taking a lot of hot showers will steam out the sinuses... will that work for those lungs as well?

A lot of people are getting pneumonia. One of my coworker's kids got it last week. There was a story on NPR that some weird virus is going around, and one of the effects it has is to make people come down with pneumonia. I hope you don't have that.

Holy crap, Hammer - you take extra-good care of yourself - it's seriously scary shit, pneumonia is. After my bout with it in late July-to-August (and I'm just now feeling back-to-normal-ISH) I'll always be scared of ever getting that shit again. It's bad. Frighteningly so.

I have chronic Bronchaitis myself, and whenever I get an infection, I'm on my back for a week or more.

Hope you feel better! Codeine makes me want to clean the house instead of sleep. They say I am allergic to it b/c it has the reverse reaction in my system.

Jeez. Sounds like a drag. I know you'll recover quickly.

If you have access to a sauna, use it. Miracle workers, those saunas.

HOLY SHIT! I am reading your blog backwards since i am so behind and just got to this one! I had this same last year around this time (okay, on Christmas eve my doc saw me last year and gave me chest xrays and blah blah blah) so I totally know how miserable it is. I had an inhaler (Advair) and that AWESOME codiene cough medicine. I had the suckiest holiday last year ever. I had to take a nap after merely walking from upstairs to downstairs...or after taking a shower. It is truly miserable and I am sorry you are going through this. Get better!
