came down with the flu. It took me roughly a week, but I started feeling sick in mid-February. Lots of coughing, especially at night, feeling weak and light-headed, and unpleasant headaches, which the coughing didn't help. Early this past week, I found that short walks led to shortness of breath. A leisurely trip to the store and back made me feel as though I'd sprinted a mile.So, after feeling the sickest for the longest period of time (close to two weeks) in my adult life, I went to see a doctor this past Thursday. He listened to my lungs and took an xray.
His diagnosis: pneumonia.
Now, I'm on antibiotics, trying to get as much rest as possible, and feeling a little better. Wish me luck!

Thanks, Cali and Elisa!
I am still dismayingly short of breath when doing anything mildly strenuous like climbing several flights of stairs quickly, but I am feeling much better. Not having coughing fits for an hour when I go to bed is always a welcome change. :) I have finished taking antibiotics for now and am hoping I will continue to improve.
The main problem now seems to be that at least one of my inner ears is temporarily filled with fluid, rendering me partially deaf.
Yeep!
Also: I randomly had a mom-flash since you called us Cali and Elisa! heh. Funny...
Luck and hugs and chicken soup and tea and that sort of thing. Bummer, man.
