Last Friday: Ate lunch at work, which sat rather uncomfortably. One hour later I went home to nap, pick up the kids, then nap some more. With a temperature of 100.6 I figured i had the flu again.

Saturday: Spent day sleeping, with breaks to pee, eat toast, and drink Sprite. High temperature 103.

Sunday: Spent the morning sleeping, and finally dig myself out of bed to go to the Minute Clinic. When I get there, they listen to my lungs and tell me to go to the emergency clinic NOW. One X-ray later I've got a diagnosis of a respiratory infection and a perscription for clarithomycin.

Monday: More fever. More sleeping. Except I start developing a nasty pain in my air that sends me back to the Minute Clinic. Diagnosis: Water behind my ear drum. I get another prescription for painkillers for my ear.

That don't work. Cue much agony and not much sleep.

Tuesday: Finally get my primary physician, who switches me to Levaquin for my lungs, and anti-biotic drops for my ear because it's actually infected.

Wednesday, Thursday: Back to work. Throat still raspy so at least I'm kept off the phones.

Friday: Back to my primary for a followup. Turns out I actually had pneumonia all this time. And a canker sore on the side of my throat, making me talk like Baron Greenback.

I think I'm going to rest some more.

Ye gods and little fishes, that's a dreadful time indeed. Are you feeling at least somewhat better now? And you were at work for some of it all? O.o

Yikes, didn't you already get hit hard by a bug this year? You've had your quota of pick.

Seriously, hope you get to feeling better soon!

AUGH. I'm so sorry to hear it. Hope you're feeling much more comfortable soon, and have a speedy recovery.
