On the twelfth day of illness, this virus gave to me...

[mrissa]

...a diagnosis of maybe the tiniest teeny little bit of pneumonia.

This is my rephrasing, as the original from-the-doctor's-mouth version omitted "maybe," "the tiniest," "teeny," and "little bit of."

Just imagine how keen I am on this. Oh, just imagine. Oh, all right, fine, I will tell you instead of making you imagine: not the least bit keen. Not the least bit keen at all. I said to markgritter yesterday when Dr. porphyrin brought this up as a possibility, "I don't think I should do that having-pneumonia thing. It doesn't sound like fun to me." And here we are, and it isn't. I was right.

Harumph harumph harumph harumph.

I am going on the assumption that 2010 will get less boring and obnoxious from here.

I had pneumonia a few years ago. It was very much not fun. *hugs* I hope you feel better, soon.

My sympathies. I didn't like the pneumonia I had, either. It's a terrible houseguest. But I'm glad you have people to love you and bring you soup.

[cathshaffer.livejournal.com]

I knew it. What's the address where you get them medical diploma things? I need me one. I am that good. Get yourself fixed up. I assume Dr. Porphyrin's leaving the formalities such as exam/x-ray/prescriptions to your regular doc?

One pneumococcus is enough to spoil a party, alas.

Here's hoping that evicting the nasties goes quickly and easily, and that you are back in fighting trim ASAP.

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

Oh no! How unnecessary and inappropriate!

I hope the pneumonia does not hang around very long.

[redbird]

No, it isn't fun. But I am confident that you will cope, and defeat the stupid pathogens.

[rezendi.livejournal.com]

Bleah. Sympathies. Get better soon!

[orbitalmechanic.livejournal.com]

That is really no good at all. I can't approve.

I'm really hoping that next time you'll get one of the really fun diseases. Like, um... well, maybe they'll discover a fun disease by the time you get a new one.

>> Harumph harumph harumph harumph.

Sounds more like whooping cough to me.

[dichroic.livejournal.com]

Oh, yuck. I hope that you feel much better, very soon.

[reveritas.livejournal.com]

Hell's teeth! :( Maybe you're over the worst of it though? Well, antibiotics to the rescue I guess.

[daharyn.livejournal.com]

Ugh. That stinks. I hope you feel better quickly.

[lydy.livejournal.com]

Total drag. And completely unfair. You have enough illness, you shouldn't get any more. If I find the complaint desk, I'll let you know.

[mkille.livejournal.com]

Wishes for effective antibiotics. :(

[fidelioscabinet.livejournal.com]

Commiserations--I did that one way too often as a sprat and it is so totally not fun even the tiniest little bit.

A fast recovery and may you have adequate chocolate to console you for this latest insult from callous fate!

[pameladean]

I feel that this was misdelivered, but I don't suppose you can send it back. Pfui.

Does knowing you have pneumonia lead to anything useful, or do you just have to cosset yourself til it gets tired of you?

P.

[buttonlass.livejournal.com]

Well that just seems unfair. Sorry to hear it. I hope it clears up as fast as this sort of thing can and takes the vertigo with it. I do realize that things don't normally work like that, but it can't hurt to ask.:)

[alecaustin.livejournal.com]

Fie on pneumonia. Fie, I say.

Sending more good thoughts your way. Get better soon.

[athenais.livejournal.com]

Good lord, that's just not right.

[zalena.livejournal.com]

Please take your own advice with regard to visiting the gift shop.

[thoughtdancer.livejournal.com]

Humbug, I say... wait, that's not quiet right, even if it is winter.

Wellness to all.

[buymeaclue.livejournal.com]

Good gravy. Is there something in the water over there?

Hope you're feeling better ASAP.

[moiread]

Well, shit. Whose stupid idea was that?

[columbina.livejournal.com]

Do not let this unauthorized, unsolicited pneumonia push you around.

(Get well soon.)

[sraun]

Condolences and get well soon!

I'm hoping that that doesn't happen to me too. I've been on Augmentin since last Tuesday afternoon, after finishing up a Zithromax on New Year's Eve.

[howl-at-the-sun.livejournal.com]

How completely unnecessary.

[arkuat]

I hope these tiny unwelcome houseguests depart quickly.

[callunav.livejournal.com]

How annoying. It seems very badly thought-out on someone's part.

I hope you are able to show it the door quickly.

[intrepida.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you got it diagnosed. I dragged around for a month a couple years ago before I broke down and went to the MD and found out that the cough-that-wouldn't-quite-go-away was pneumonia. It is sneaky stuff.

All the best for a speedy recovery.

wtf

pneumonia is NOT okay
