Sorry brother.

I'm guessing I shouldn't have gone into my sister's house so long after the flood. I was on albuterol for bronchitis shortly afterwards but things got worse... Kids at school are contracting strep like mad and my sinus is always a mess. Who knows? Never had strep or pneumonia before.

pnemonia is horrible.

sore from coughing and unable to breathe. everything is tiring, and sitting down is ok, lying down feels like drowning. No rest leads to more fatigue. repeat. listen to the doctor. good luck man.

Pete, you take this bell and whenever he rings it I want you to come to him and rub his head and say "Poor little bunny."
Got it?

Bummer Griff. I've had pneumonia a couple of times. It sucks balls. You need to hang yourself upside down and get someone to thump your back while inhaling mentholly steam. It really helps. I don't know if they recommend that anymore, but it's worked for me both as a child and an adult.

Did they give you a seratide inhaler? I found that helped with breathing as an adult.

The sinus infection should clear up pretty quickly now they've identified it and presumably have you on some kind of medication?

I hope you feel better soon Griff. I feel sorry for you.

Feel betterer dude !

Awesome, but the girls are at a Reel Big Fish / Streetlight Manifesto concert so its just me, copious fluids, netflix, the inhaler of Ibuterol, the Levofloxin, and the Mucinex. Ali, I'll hold off on the Simon Peter maneuver until tomorrow anyway.

Hope you feel better soon. I got hit with something Monday... I think. Days are running into each other. I slept like 18 hours yesterday. Lotta sickness going around - around here.

Well, you can always contemplate the void, get right with baby J, and disavow your karma.

OR just rest and watch some brain candy with Cate Blanchett.

Richard Moss on the Kindle or a Swedish longsword to the helm epic, I am apparently of 2 minds.

Pneumonia plus sinus is an especially unpleasant combo. I suffered from that twice before myself and once ended up at the hospital. All I could do was sleep. I hope you get over yours quickly and that it doesn't impact your holiday too much.

awww...get well soon! :hug:

He works in a school. Probably goes through this several times a year.

A word and some initials ... Mucinex DM. Fucking brilliant.

Don't exert yourself. Rest, rest, and more rest. Do not relapse. Get well soon.

Tussionex.

Best. Shite. Evah.

Thanks guys. I think I'll save the DM for my meth lab though. My body can't handle it.

there's no DM in Tussionex.

Just vicodin!

:D

How are you feeling, Griff? Are you all better?

Much better thanks. I'm still monitoring my sinus trying to keep it moist/soothed. My lungs are clear and I'm off the anti-biotic one week today. I'm going to spend more time outdoors this weekend and hopefully I'll be cycling or skiing soon.
