Puritan Board Doctor
...because I thought it might be fun to come down with pneumonia.
It started with what I thought was a head cold, which quickly became worse, burrowing in my chest. I went to the doctor. At first, he thought I had a viral infection, prescribing prednizone and a cough syrup. A week later, I was not improved - in fact, I felt worse. Examining me again, he decided I had pneumonia. So, he prescribed an antibiotic (doxycyl) and more of the same cough syrup. He also had me have a chest x-ray.
Well, having taken all the prescribed medicine, I am feeling better. Today (March 20) is the start of week 5 of this thing. I still feel somewhat weak and tire easily, and am easily winded. But, overall, I feel much better (especially as compared to a couple of weeks ago).
By the way, if you want to lose a few pounds, pneumonia is an effective (if brutal) way to go about it, since I ate next to nothing for about 3 weeks. Heh.
Boy, am I sick of orange juice...

Sorry to hear of your ailment, but I'm glad you are in recovery!
