Only Pneumonia

If I didn't/don't have the virus than I came/come real close. I'vd been sniffling, coughing, malaising and sleeping for almost two weeks now. Maybe I got lucky and it was/is only pneumonia cuz only pneumonia knows the way I feel tonight. I got flu shots and pnuemonia shots at the beginning of the season so whatever I had/have could have been worse without those shots which is a frightening thought.

I don't think it's the Corona because I got it before it arrived in the US and I don't get out much around here as a recluse I'm pretty much on a self-imposed quarantine other than an occasional trip to the movies. The last movie we saw was The Invisible Man. It was out of focus and I didn't even have the energy to demand my money back.

So since I didn't come in contact with many people other than a birthday party for a one year old which was attended by several sales people who fly all over the country for meetings (Ah HA), I don't know how this shit could be Corona although North Carolina is now in a state of emergency.

Whatever it is, it's getting better (can't get much worse), the coughing has diminished and the darkness has lifted at least to the extent that I can get back to work here at the keyboard which is a good thing.

Hopefully, next time that I write, I'll be back at fuller strength even though we early Boomers look like we're caught in the crosshairs of yet another catastrophe.

I'm sorry to hear you've been so unwell Ice. Did you go to a doctor? Didn't they offer you a test? Hope you feel better soon

 

Thank you for your concern. My condition began with a sore throat that didn't concern me and it grew worse each day until the coughing and wheezing had become undeniable and the breathing became difficult by that time, the word about Corona was starting to spread over here in the U.S. even though our president told us we had nothing to worry about. About 5 days ago, I noticed the coughing was dimishing in ferocity and frequency....not much but definitely not getting worse at the rate it had been going during the prior days. I deyermined that whatever it was that I had was starting to retreat so I quarantined, styaed in bed and began riding it out. Although I'm still sniffling today I'm much better than I was a week ago and soon will be back to full strength just in time to confront the threat of the corona virus which we are not prepared for as our President continues to make believe. We don't have nearly enough "tests" so I wouldn't have been able to get one anyway. I'm continuing to work on the print edition of my book and will once again hope you can help me in the promotion when I release it. I have an ISBN and as you know the original e version is on Amazon but I want to wait until the print version emerges until I promote it again. In the meantime, it's getting better all the time unlike the health and welfare of the world. Thanks again for your concern.

 

Yes of course Ice - just let me know when you have the ISBN number. Always happy to help ABCTalers - hope you continue to improve!
