Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu

Night of the 1/23 I went to bed with a temp of 101, next morning none. By 8Am I was freezing and doing the Saint Vitus Dance.
I put on a sweat suit and went back to bed. At 2:30 I felt better, but I called a friend to take me to VA next AM. That night my temp was 99.3
AM 25th no temp, almost called her to forget it.
When I got to VA temp was 103.1. It was nurse training day in the ER. Got blood drawn by newbe, then they wanted urine, what? I just peed.
Not to worry, ya got enough drip in now for a cather. I call BS on that, because they had blood, x-rays and knew I had pneumonia. So the new gal gets to do the cather.

A first for me. BTW, After they removed the cather, for a couple of days, you even think about peeing, you're probably too late. No control. Ymmv.
The !@#$ Ac was screwed up in my room and about fried my sinuses

Back home the 28th. Feeling much better now.
