Monday was one of the scariest days of my 39+ years.
In my near one hour of driving home from work, I went from feeling ok, to start aching a bit, to severe aching all over. No fever, just severe muscle and joint pains.
I get home, and go straight to the batroom, fill the tub up with hot water, and dive in. Slickwife knew something was bad wrong at that moment, I only take showers.
Then when I got out of the tub, chills from hell ensuedand lots of sweating. I assumed it was the flu kicking in due to the rapid onset and the precipitous decline in my helath in a few hours. The whole night was miserable as my temp climbed to 103.5
Tuesday, I go see the doc, explain the symptoms, he does bloodwork and chest xrays - "bud, you've got pneumonia" :eek:
His words "I know it sucks, you are not a smoker nor are you in a high risk group, sometimes this just happens".
Then comes the cure is as bad as the illness - a megashot of rocephin.
It's apparently as think as Karo syrup. Literally the biggest pain I've ever had in my ***, and I've had a number of shots over the years.
Fortunately, the up all night with chills and sweating is over, but the cough is making me sore now. I'm not touching slickwife or slickdaughter as a precaution. This completely :succs:
