The "P" Bug

Saturday afternoon after finishing the painting in Michaels old room I started feeling a little dizzy. I realized that my dizzyness was probably from the fact that I hadn't opened any window for ventilation. I was so intent on getting this job done that I hadn't taken the time to open a window. Feeling pretty stupid I opened a window and continued working. I then startd developing a cough. Of course now all kinds of thoughts are running through my head about paint and bronchial hairs in my lungs.
Sunday morning the coughing had not gone away and I was getting nasal congestion and common cold symptoms. I tried to make it to Benton Harbor but I wasn't feeling good and we were in a whiteout condition. I stayed in my sweats all day Sunday and things were progressivly getting worse.
Monday morning I got up to go to work and quickly realized that wasn't going to happen. I couldn't breath and every time I coughed I had tears in my eyes because of the bruised ribs from coughing so much the day before. I scheduled an appointment to see the doctor. He said I had Pnuemonia. He sent me to the hospital for x-rays and gave me drugs. He also told me to stay home from work for three days. He said if I pushed it I'd probably end up in the hospital. I remember seeing my sister almost die from pnuemonia so I don't want any part of that.
So here I sit on Tues. feeling like crap and blogging.
Well so much for now,
Randy
