Atypical Pneumonia

Why can’t I do anything normal?!?

Ended up in the ER tonight because of tightness and pain in my chest. If I allowed myself to think of it, I became claustrophobic. Felt like someone was standing right below my neck.

At first the doctor thought I might have had the misfortune to catch one virus after another, but narrowed it down to probable atypical pneumonia, gave me heavy duty antibiotics and Vicodin.

Doing illegal drugs, or using legal ones inappropriately, is no laughing matter. However, doing Vicodin on a doctor’s orders to stop the cough IS a laughing matter. I think my kids even had fun with me. About 30 minutes after I took one, I was pain-free for the first time in a month. And quite loopy.
