Creeping Crud

Three days and two nights at the Community Medical Center have left me exhausted. I got the flu, but I was too sick to realize how sick I had become.

A chest x-ray showed pneumonia. I am still coughing up some very ugly crud, but I am okay. They put an I. V. in my arm and poured antibiotics in me and yellow colored liquid from a plastic bag.

This morning I ate scrambled eggs and ham. It was very good for hospital food.

I lost 10 pounds. And I haven't shaved since last week. Now I look like a wizened old man.

I don't have any scuttlebutt on the 383. I'm still employed though. I talked to my boss yesterday and he said not to worry.

  1. I can definitely empathise since I'm at the end of the same thing. It really lays you low. Glad you are on the upswing.
