Keith....get well soon! That's some bad stuff. It's amazing how quickly it can effect you! I was rototilling my garden one day. Felt fine. The next thing I knew I was on my knees behind that rototiller. Pneumonia! Take care of yourself. Get lots of rest!

Hey Keith,

I know all that airborn wood bye product doesn't help. Remember all your PPE DC and air filtration.
Get well soon.

Keith -

Glad it was not the "big one" (ala Fred Sampson). Get some rest, finish the prescriptions, and most inportantly, make some chicken soup. :) You will be better in no time.

Get well quick!

Thanks all for the well wishing. I'm just laying on the sofa readin SMC. :)

Ken,

that's almost how it happened to me. I was fine went to bed work up in the morning nothing unusual, then all of the sudden chest pain like indigestion. figured it would pass but a few hours later I was concerned but by 8 pm I was so worried and in so much pain I had to get checked out. so glad it wasn't the ticker.

Keith,

That is some serious stuff. You better take care of your self and get some rest. It is going to take you a couple of weeks before you are 100%. Don't push it or you will be right back in bed.

Take care and Be well

Awright! Super opportunity to share all that great WW wisdom you have! :D Heck, you've got a couple thousand proxies out here to do your WW through. :)

Seriously, get lots of rest, don't forget about nourishment, take your meds, rest up and when you start feeling a bit better, don't push it. Did I mention that you really need to get plenty of rest? :) In the meantime, I'll pass along a good word to the Big Guy! Take care of yourself. :cool:

Keith, sorry to hear you're down with something. Just a few weeks ago I had similar symptoms but no chest pain. As luck would have it I was going to the doctor for some routine and she said a lot of people were coming down with this one sided pneumonia. Z-pack for me knocked it out. Sure felt bad for a few days.
Last week my FIL came down with the same thing, big deal for him as he is 91. Doing fine now, thank goodness.
