Update on me…

Quick update on my and my current argument with my body…

The fever is gone and the lungs are finally clear, so it looks like we nailed the pneumonia. it’s now clear I was walking around with it for about 6 weeks before the cold made me notice it. The cough is moderating, and I’m almost sleeping through the night. Almost — I’m still really, really tired but the energy levels are recovering. I’m not coming home and feeling like a zombie, so the writing is starting up again. that’s good.

of course, I coughed so much I pulled a muscle in my back, which isn’t fun but is minor — and every muscle assigned to coughing is stiff and sore, so every time I cough the pain ripples a bit. But we’re working on that, too, and in another day or so, it should go away…

I must say, pneumonia sucks. Not because it makes you feel rotten, but because it tends to suck everything out fo you and make you feel — pretty much nothing. The antibiotics helped a lot, on day 3, I got a lot of energy back, and then lost it all again as the body went into full regeneration mode, with me ending up even more tired than before I started treatment. A couple of days ago, I finally started feeling like myself again.

And even feeling like posting here…
