I have been home since Tuesday last week sicker than a dog. I got a shot that helped some, but I am a long ways from being better. I have never spent so much time on the Campfire as I have this past week and yes there is something worse than pneumonia, a thread that won't quit with 2 guys calling each other names and no end to the debate.
No wonder I am not getting any better...

Need someone to drive that GTO around, keep it limbered up while you're lazy azzing around?

Well if it helps, had this been 1912 instead of 2012 we would have heard from the neighbors down the road that ol'Shrap didn't pull through the winter... On the brightside, three months from now you'll be be shooting fuzzy critters with a warm sun on your back.  Get well!

Is there anything worse?
Yes, having pneumonia in a world without aviators. I'd eat my gun.

Perhaps if a couple/few more guys took a shot of some kind? ...........

Sorry to hear you're under the weather! Pneumonia does suck! Yes, there ARE things worse than pneumonia, as seen in those threads that you mentioned. The reputations garnered there will carry with folks for a long time. I had to stop reading them yesterday morning as it was just about as non-productive as anything I have ever seen. And now, for something totally different....are you able to do any loading or plotting your next adventure, or are you stuck in that neverland between dead and "what truck ran over me?"  Ed

No chit.. I love going through old graveyards, and back east in the real old ones, it's not hard to notice that winter sure killed a lot of old people.

Bad thing about pneumonia is the scarring of the lungs. It reduces lung capacity as I understand it. I have a relative that is really plagued by the loss of lung function that I believe is from pneumonia contracted on a few occasions.

No wonder I am not getting any better... I am sorry to hear of it. It is a bad thing. I can remember having it about fifteen years ago and running temps of around 106 degrees. You could take fever reducer and maybe get it down around 102. The only thing I've had that was worse and just hung on was Gall stones. About a year or two later I was in Walmart getting a Flu shot. They were giving Pneumonia shots too. I said, "give me one of those too". The nurse said they were for old folks. I said "hit me".

No wonder I am not getting any better... I hate to be negative but...expect to get over it soon but to take years to completely recover, if you ever do. It scars the lungs. Very, very bad stuff.

I have had one of each this year, pneumonia shot has worked so far, the flu shot has not  Was supposed to be on a plane to the UK Monday night, I feel like death on a shingle and the thoughts of even moving off the couch just makes me want to hurl and pass out. JOY ! NOT !
