Being Sick..

I've been sick off and on for over a month now.  I figured it was because of the this native southern California guy had to get used to REAL weather.  Real weather = Cold (sub 50 degrees) weather.   Naw, I just have a pretty crappy deal sometimes when I get sick.   I was literally driven nuts the night of Jan 1 when I kept waking myself up by coughing.  So instead of taking my tired butt to work, i finally decided to go to the Urgent Care on the corner.  Well it turns out that I have Bronchitis and the doc hasn't ruled out pneumonia. Oh goodie!  She wants me to be checked up on in 10 days when my antibiotics are done.   So I'm on two different kinds of pills and an inhaler.   Oh by the way.  I forgot to read the part that your not supposed to use an inhaler before you go to bed!  HOLY CRAP!  My heart was racing and I couldn't get to sleep until 2:00 AM.  I wake up at 6!!   Arg.. life is just ... I guess life.    Could be worse.  I could be Robert Neville.  

On the road to recovery,  hopefully <shrug> ..

That sucks, dude. I've had pneumonia a couple of times, including this past February. About 11 years ago, I was hospitalized because of pneumonia and a fever of 106 degrees. Good thing you went in and got yourself some meds.

Thanks all. It's the pits. I do try to take better care of myself. But I have had friends and family bunk at my place since the first weekend in December. So I'm needless to say worn out. Gladly worn out, as I do enjoy the company. I tell ya, going from the basement to the second floor made me feel like I was back smoking again!
