Can't shake that cough? Can't throw off that fever? GET TESTED

Here I was all set, for a minor procedure, then they canceled it.
(Hey, I got some slipper socks...)
Why?
I had a cold in the prior week, temperature was not good (my iron bars were lousy too), so they sent me to ultrascan.

They found a pneumonia.

Put me into the hospital to suck off fluid from outside the lungs, then equipped with special horsepills (no, I CAN'T have that, I don't need to be so allergic that I have to survive Benadryl for 6 months AGAIN).

I hope you have a much better 2025.
