I Love Pneumonia!

Okay, long story short....I've been feeling "off" since early August. I haven't been running, which was a huge blow to my psyche! Things were just not great. I have been in to see my doctor twice, had gallons of blood removed my from body, had a EKG done, a chest x-ray done, had my blood oxygen level tested, was on a clear liquids diet for 29.5 hours....you name it, I've done it lately....all under the guise of treatment for "some type of virus" that is apparently at it's tail end! Yeah right. I just wasn't getting any better! But today a light appeared at the end of the tunnel...

I have pneumonia! Yippee! I now know what is wrong with me and it comes with drugs! My blood count is still low, but my platelet count is coming back up....that being said they want to do more blood-work tomorrow and do an ECCO on my heart on the 11th...so there you have it! At least something finally makes sense! I like it when things make sense!
