Breaker's sick, ;o

I noticed a few days ago that I was coming down with something bad, like the flu only worse. Made an emergency doctor's appointment after the other night when I woke up coughing, and could hardly breathe... The diagnosis?

Walking Pneumonia

"The statistics you've heard can be fairly frightening, for this lung infection is among the most common causes of death in the US and can stem from other illnesses"

🙄

I have known several people with walking pneumonia, and they all got over it. It is better than a pneumonia that keeps you down.

Get well soon!

Yeah... I've had that twice, actually, though not quite that bad, from the sound of it. Still, probably nothing to worry about too much.

lol! Yeah, don't do anything stupid. And my advice: milk this for all it's worth (if you have anyone to whine to).

And dont take that advice literally , milk accelerates those sorts of infections =/

I think he meant that he could get people to do things for him, since he's sick. Such as

Breaker: " I wish I had some waffles, but I'm too sick to make them."

Breaker's bitch: "Sit down, I'll make you some waffles."

Breaker: "Blueberry."

Breaker's bitch: "Sure."

Something like that.

Yeah, pneumonia sucks, I've had it many times. It almost killed me once too, causing me to be hospitalized for a couple of weeks when I was 9.

Lately I've been feeling really really shitty in the way that it seems gravity is bearing down on me, my muscles hurt as though they've been exercised yet they also feel at the same time that they haven't been used for awhile(as if one had been sitting in the same position for a long time). I also seem to be having a serious shortness of breath too.

I am however afraid to go to the doctors about it because I have no health insurance and I don't wanna end up being hospitalized at which point the family is financially screwed.

I've had somthing where I wake up at night and I can't breath as well, but it might be because my room looks like a Cyclone went through it and the dust is everywhere.

Anyway, I hope you get better soon.

Don't look at ME...I didn't do anything. 😛

I know the feeling, though. :laughing:

Cyclone

Damn, Cyclone, you stole my line. Oh well, it's more of your type of joke, anyway, the corny ones that no one likes.

Get well soon Breaker.

Bummer. 😞
Been there done that too.
A shot of antibiotics and bed rest got me through.
Glad to hear you went to the Docs, many people don't untill it's too late.
