There was a circle tour through NJ last weekend, and on Monday I had a tickle in my throat. By Tuesday it was a really sore throat and Wednesday a full blown cold/flu, and OTC cold medicine therapy started.
One of my fellow travelers called on Thursday, and I asked him if he had picked up the dreaded maledy. Nope, he said, but be careful of this one because one of the guys down at work had the same symptoms and his funeral was yesterday.
Because of the severe cough and the patches of white stuff in my throat getting worse, I couldn't lie down or get any sleep, so, Friday morning's visit to the Dr. confirmed Pneumonia and I went away with a scrip for an inhaler, heavy duty antibiotics, and a chest X ray request.
Dunno, if its the same one; but this could be the same bug that laid Bluerauder low, and you guys need to be careful, it may not be just a cold.
Oh, I forgot, there was scrip for a bottle of cough syrup with codine. :woohoo:
It's hard to point to a cause, but I suspect the dinnerware from one of the restaurants.
