of my demise were not so much exaggerated as they were overly enthusiatic predictions that fell short of reality.
Diagnosis: pneumonia. Doc gave me some powerful antibiotics, an inhaler for congestion, and some
lovely LOVELY cough syrup laced with a generous helping of poppy extracts. The latter is very welcome, as I'd been coughing so hard and so much that my entire rib cage ached just breathing, let alone coughing, which was becoming excruciating.
So, anyway, that's why I've been kind of quiet lately. Too sick to blog. Too sick to even do a serviceable job of lying on a couch watching TV.
But I'm feeling much better now... here's hoping the medicinal regimen I'm on does the trick.

Glad you're feeling better. That syrup is GREAT stuff...
Sorry to hear you've been under the weather and hope you are feeling spry again very soon! In time for spring allergies and stuff...
So far so eh. Still hackin' and lung-barfin'. Fever's mostly gone, but stops by to visit for a few minutes every day. Actually stopped taking the cough syrup the second day, because I read the flyer that came with it and it says that it thickens mucus, and I want mine gone, not thickened into stew.
But man did it make my ribs feel better...
Been chuggin liquids like crazy, lotta soup too.
I'll make it.
Well, the anti-biotics are all done, and I feel heaps better. Still a little coughing, but no congestion to mention.
Glad to hear you feel better dear.
Drugs are pretty great sometimes.... but don't tel my Mom I said that...
Hey, what happens in the tinfoil hat stays in the tinfoil hat. It's all about BLOCKING the alien mind-reading and controlling waves.
