It's a ONE-TWO punch!

     Went into work today, not feeling great but there was work that had to be done.

By noon I felt utterly exhausted. I went home and Kathy told me to take my coughing self to the ER since the doctor's office closes early on Friday.

Memorial Hospital's ER department is stellar, and I arrived at a slow time. I was literally called into triage before they finished putting the tracking band on my wrist.

One X-ray later and some listening confirms: I have pneumonia.

So three pills of prednisone, cough suppressant, new antibiotic, two breathing treatments later, and I'm out.

Out of the ER, and out of work until next Friday, by doctor's order.

ARG!

So you couldn't just do a summer cold?

It's a holiday week coming up, whatever clients won't be doing much anyway, half the people in the US will take vacation days... so honestly, you don't have to feel guilty about that. Suckitude is high, of course... sigh.

Something else... When you're sick a lot, it drags down your reserves of certain nutrients. A, D, and all the B's, for instance, and especially with respiratory illnesses. You might want to see about that. Also, I'm sure you know that Vicks Vaporub, and chai with all the spices, are good stuff.

Get well soon! And thanks for writing Grand Central Arena, which has cheered me up muchly!
