I've been sick for over a week now. Nothing major, but started with chills, slight fever, fatigue. I tested negative for both flu and COVID, but still it hung on. After 5 days I went to a clinic, who determined me dehydrated and sent me to the hospital's ER. There they hooked me up to an IV of fluids, and started doing bloodwork, scans, etc. A chest x-ray revealed a spot of infection in my right upper chest which they determined was pneumonia. This is how my poor mind remembers it all anyway. I actually had an EKG that I can't even remember having. Which is strange, because I never really felt out of it. I remember the chest x-ray, and I remember a CT Scan. But I don't remember the EKG. So, I could be explaining it wrong, but this is the best I can do with a muddy mind.
Pneumonia is a scary word, and for good reason. But if mine were a bad case, they would have admitted me to the hospital. I'm taking it as a good sign that they sent me home.
I'm definitely getting better after a few days of antibiotics. Staying hydrated!!! I never thought I'd say this, but I look forward to feeling well enough to clean my house.
