Just got back an hour ago from hospital. I've been sick and was sleeping when wife came home. She woke me up and said my lips were blue. So now I have Flu and Pneumonia. They gave me breathing treatment and all kinds of shots. They wanted me to stay but I said no thanks. Wife told them she would stay with me next 24 hours so they released me. The last time I felt this bad was in 1979 when I had mononucleosis. What ever one of the shots were went to work real fast on my throat. I came home and slept 3 hours and more rested. :ack2: Stay well all, You dont want this!
 
Man, maybe you should have stayed in the hospital. Pneumonia is nothing to fool around with. People wind up suddenly in a pine box from that crap. When your lungs fill up with fluid, game is over with.
 
When I was somewhere around 12 years old, I got very sick. Hacking, rattling cough, sore throat, fever, chest pain, etc. My douchebag of a dad kept sending me to school for a whole week before the school stepped in and sent me back home. After that, I was finally taken to the doctor's office. Turns out I had a pretty bad case of he called "walking pneumonia". I missed the next 4 weeks of school. It was probably the worst I ever felt in my entire life. I feel your pain.
 
:crap: that's no good... but only a true trooper manages to log in & post on Fauna while sick with the Flu & Pneumonia. I'm the biggest, most miserable, sissy you'll ever meet when sick so my hats tipped to you sir. Get some rest & get better soon!
 
Joe, take care of yourself and feel better soon. That combination is pretty serious. If you get to feeling worse go back to the hospital please.
 
Sending good wishes your way, Joe. I almost lost my husband 6 years ago due to his refusal to go to the hospital until it was too late. I hope you pull through this soon; it sounds absolutely miserable.

Thanks all. Thing is I feel sorta ok one min then for 4 hours I'm in bed shivering and miserable then I go back to sorta ok. Slept a full 6 hours last night which is about normal. Tired but not too bad. Give it an hour though, lol.
 
my step mom is going through the same right now, stopped breathing, ran to the hospital. they wanted her to stay for a few days but there was no room. So they have her on pills and breathing tube for about 3 days at home. She's already showing great improvement each day, so hopefully it will be the same for you! get well!
 
Thanks for concern! I will feel fine for an hour or 2 then crash hard for 3 or 4 hours. One of the drugs they have me on makes it burn when I urinate which is unpleasant and the smell gags me. Horrible! Luckily I only have 2 more of those to take. Breathing fine now as long as I change position every so often.
 
Oh and dogs wont leave my sight at all. Cats only concerned when I near cat food. Lol

They're afraid you'll sneeze on it.... :rofl:

Seriously it sounds awful, hope you feel better as soon as possible. Fairly obviously you're aware of how important it is to take all medication strictly as per instructions and until finished, right? This is nothing to play with....
 
Hope you're feeling better! Check in to let us know that you're alright!

I know how bad the flu is, as I had that last Feb and was down for 2 weeks. Hopefully with me getting the flu shot I won't get it this year...UGH! Pneumonia is the worst thing, my dad had that a little while back and they almost admitted him to the hospital with it (but he's 80, and they wanted to make sure that his lungs weren't going to collapse), but he denied the hospital stay too...Must be a guy thing. ;) lol
 
Thanks Brandi, I woke up around 3 am and chest tight/hurting and headache. I took my meds and migraine relief tab and went back to bed. My boxers, especially my male seem to know I dont feel well. He wrapped around me and I dozed off. Woke up 4 hours later feeling really good. I just know not to do much. Feels like I'm turning the corner here!

Stupid cats can have 10 pounds of food in bowl and they yowl for more when ever I get near food bucket, lol. Yeah meds taken pretty much on time. Took them just a little early this morning though. I get migraines pretty easy and when ever I get a headache I panic and start dosing myself, lol.

:rofl: We ended up getting an automatic feeder for our old man. Now he goes and sits and stares at it when he's hungry, rather than waking us up. :D

I broke down and got the flu shot this year, and looks like it might have been a good thing. Everyone we know is sick right now. Last thing I need is to be so sick I have to stay in bed, because the house would fall apart without me to run things.

My cat did the same thing and it drove me crazy. I'd have to stand their and brush him for him to quiet up and eat.

Get well!
