Ever had pneumonia?

[PNWGator]

Ugh…hope you’re on the mend and are back to 100% in short order.

Listen to the Dr. and don't overdo it. I've never had it and hope I never do, had covid and didn't know it but I tested positive. I was one of the lucky ones, I guess. Rest and you will be back to normal soon.

I had it in my 20s. The infection was so bad in my lungs that my cough smelled like Mexican food, I couldn't eat Taco Time for a year afterwards. The doctor wanted to do a chest CT, but I couldn't afford it so I refused treatment.

One Z-Pack and I was good to go, so I was lucky that way.

I hope everybody gets better.

Get better Dale!

Got it about 8 years ago, started with the flu and I pushed through that. Next thing I know I was sitting at my desk bundled up in my hoodie and a jacket with the heater on full blast. Co-workers sent me home.

That night I woke up in bed with chest pains and couldn’t breath. That got my cardiac care nurse wife fired up, she made me go to the ER. Spent 4 days in the hospital. Tried to go back to work the day after I was released (against wifey’s orders) and made it around the job site twice, and needed a nap. Didn’t make it back to work for another week.

Don’t do what I did, even though you probably will, and come back to soon. Take the light duty if possible when you come back.

Get well soon!

While you are down, read up on the benefit of getting your 300 RUM milled for a Wyatt’s extended magazine box when you have the new barrel put on.

 

[Walkathon]

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

 

[Westxhunter]

almost got there a week ago. Had bronchitis, had to get on antibiotics myself. I try to not to if possible, but i'm getting older and this one got me. Get well soon!

I’ve had it 2 times in the last 3 years. Once from a “respiratory virus” about a month before anyone had Covid stateside and then again from Covid this past July. First time was worse. Don’t be surprised if you get out of breath climbing stairs, walking, or exerting yourself for awhile. It gets better though.

 

[Johnny Bravo]

Yes, twice. Get a z pac, worked for me.

Sorry to hear this @mtmuley . Yep, there never is time to be sick. Sometimes you have to let go. I watched my wife through a bout of pneumonia. Its no joke.
Wishing you a speedy recovery Dale. No sense taking any chances, you got alot of future. Hang in there,man.

I currently have a unique to California fungal pneumonia. I thought I was having a damn heart attack, got checked and it was pneumonia. Felt a little better after a z pack and returned to normal life of skiing, going to the Rose Bowl long days in the office etc, and right back where I started. Diagnosed with the fungal version , valley fever, that requires different drugs. On those now, getting better

I got RSV that turned into pneumonia last winter...beat me up for most of December. When I thought I was feeling good I went to the gym and got really loopy and nearly passed out. Turns out I was, in fact, not ready for exercise.

 

[schmalts]

Hang in there. I have had it and it sucks coughing up giant blobs that almost block your airway if they get stuck

 

[RealMuddyboots]

Rest, rest and more rest. Have doc get you a nebulizer to treat your lungs on periodic basis. Plan on at least 6-8 weeks to recover. Don't plan on being out in cold air either. Relapse is too damn easy if you push it.

Three guesses why I know all this...learn from my impatience (stupidity).

I now get pneumonia shot every year. So far so good.

Get well and prep all the brass you have!!!

 

[rjthehunter]

I haven't had it. But I know plenty who have. Nothing to mess with. Just resting and taking care of yourself can have you back on your feet in no time. Lungs are really important. My grandpa had a lung condition that caused him to slowly lose lung capacity until he passed. It was sad to see.

Get well soon!

 

[Redman]

Had it when I was a yonker and it was hell then. Hope to never experience it again! Pray you get over it soon!

 

[EKYHunter]

Never had it and hope I never do. Praying for your healing @mtmuley

 

[antlerradar]

At least it is wild card weekend. Set in the easy chair and watch football all weekend and not feel one bit guilty about not getting anything done.
Hope you are better soon.

For you I will say GO COWBOYS

edit: I can not believe I said that, I need to go wash my mouth out with soap.

And I'm pretty sure I've seen every car that has gone through the Mechum auction in Florida.

Did you catch that blue ‘70 Chevelle that went for like $480k? What a beautiful car, wow.
