By DY_nasty Go To PostI got lucky? Not COVID just good old fashioned pneumonia
Feel like there's a bunch of soggy birds in my chest still.
Had pneumonia for like 2 weeks around this time last year. Shit shit shit time.
I've been having the most annoying cough now for a few days.
Didn't help I started smoking again this weekend which triggered the cough.
Not covid atleast, just annoying.

2 yrs ago I was in the hospital from Dec 20 to 29th, I had life threatening buildup of fluid around my lung that was misdiagnosed as costochondritis. For 2 weeks before that I was in horrible pain, couldn't sleep and would be out of breath just walking a few steps. There's always some humor in situations though, cause I went to a chiropractor and he was checking me out and didn't have gloves on right. I lift my shirt and he starts feeling around my ribs from behind and when I turned around he looked like he seen a ghost, then he left the room and washed his hands. He came back and points at the 2 marks on my ribcage and says that's shingles which is contagious and I'm like nah it's an ice burn, and we go back and forth for a few minutes and I'm trying not to laugh cause he looks scared and disgusted. I'm explaining that I put a medical ice pack directly on my skin and the two lines are perfectly straight matching the edge of the ice pack. He did not believe me š¤£, still told me to come back so he could charge me.
Anyway when I was admitted to the hospital my resting heart rate was 135 and my blood pressure was 180 over 90, o2 was in the low/mid 80s basically I was gonna die had I not gone in. They drained about 8lbs of fluid but don't know what caused it since I'm not in the age range for this, and they checked my heart which was fine. I had the room to myself for about 5 days then I got a roommate but he was in his 80s and had dementia. He was funny when he was semi lucid though, he called every nurse dollface like a 1960s mobster and would get pissed when they'd come to get his blood. The doctors were weird with him though, they'd ask him questions like he knew what was going on, I had to tell them he'd stay up at night and when he burped he'd say "ouch", so the next day took him to get scoped and he had bad ulcers. His daughter thanked me, and another funny thing happened, they had the head of infectious disease guy come talk to me while she was there and he clearly had Asperger's or something like that cause he would talk loud as hell about personal shit and while the screen was pulled I could see her face and she heard him say his title and was like why would you put my father in a room with this guy. Luckily he said nothing grew in my cultures which made her relax.
Lots more happened, like the guy wheeling me from the surgery room to my room and he slammed the chest suction collector into a wall and it leaked all the way to the room and you could see the drips in the hallway. He was cool, he knew my mom from when she was a elementary teacher so I looked out for him and just said it was broken. He tried to clean it up but that shit was disgusting, the fluid stunk and was brown š¤¢ Anyway to end im still here, mortality rate for those hospitalized with what I had is 49.4% after a year, they never ruled out that it could happen again but we gonna try and run the score up before the show closes.

That's horrifying. Fr
But along those same kinda lines... I'm really, really happy I managed to keep my sense of humor through all the crazy shit too.
I was telling someone else earlier, but the scariest bit about this one was the disorientation instances. Like I can sit and read, play a game - sorta. But walking around I noticed I couldn't really make out signs or labels on stuff around my building. Coughing up what may as well have been a lump of hardening playdough was one thing, but knowing I was a slip or stumble away from completely being lost behind my own eyes was scary as hell.
If I walked to my car, then tried to drive I'd have been cooked.
One of the most surreal experiences I had was a borderline heat stroke episode and it reminded me of that.

I did both at the same time 2 years ago, missed last year. But this time, I'm getting Pfizer, which will be my first time with that one. (I had J&J initially, then a Moderna booster).

My slime, my brother I hope your aunt feels better, and thanks y'all, we gonna try and stick around for a bit longer.
By Laboured Go To PostStill can't believe Bricks goes to a chiropractor.
I had never been to one but I was told I had costochondritis which they can supposedly help so I googled one in my area with 5 stars. He didn't do anything other than crack my neck, swanton bomb my back, get disgusted at some ice burns and charge me $150. I will be in a wheelchair before I even think of going to another one.
By Pac-2 Go To PostI signed up to get covid and flu shots tomorrow. Pretty sure that's what will get me.
Double jab is done. About to morph into a new species.
I would have gone to a psychic Hitler if they said it could help, the pain was immense, my lung was close to collapsing under the pressure of a gallon of fluid. Basically my lung couldn't expand so anytime I tried to take a deeper breath I'd get a shock, and I couldnt eat much because my intestines would push against the same general area and cause me to get nerve shocks, it felt like someone stabbing me for about an hour after I would eat. I lost 30lbs in about 2 weeks and the doctor who told me it was costo prescribed me some bullshit 24 hour type of nsaid that had like 4 hours windows where it just didn't work. My sister saw me and was like you have to go to the hospital, so I finally did.
The second most painful thing ever was when they took the tube out from between my ribcage and lung without any anaesthetic, the nurse made a point to tell me that my skin had started to grow around the tube and I could legitimately feel it scraping my insides and flesh coming off it. This was during a covid surge in Dec 2021 so I couldn't even be mad at them cause they saved my life and I understand they were swamped so it is what it is, still hurt like hell.

I would legitimately just die because my doctors are useless. Got tired of telling them there's something wrong with me and stopped going in.
By Laboured Go To PostWhat?The Pac-3 era has begun
Pac-2 is evolving!
Pneumonia is no joke. I havenāt had it since I was like 8, but I was hospitalized and placed in an oxygen tent. Miserable experience. Glad ur ok
Pneumonia is absolutely dreadful. I've had it and walking / atypical pneumonia, a few times. Only thing worse was Covid.
Hope you get better soon. Coughing that stuff up is a good sign.

During my flight I was at the back of the plane once we could get up. Hear a buzz and see a flashing light outside one of the toilets. Four to five stewardesses come to check it out. I just assumed it was someone needed helped, out came the guy who was sitting next to me. A few things were said and I just assumed he pressed an assistance button in there by mistake.
Cut to the end of the flight and the guy is gone. I thought it was strange and just thought he must have found a seat closer to his wife and daughter.
Cut to me exiting the plane and i hear a police officer talking to someone like they are a baby.
It was the guy next to me.
āYou did something bad. You tried to smoke in the bathroom. Very bad. Very dangerous. Could make plane come down.ā
Dude has fucked his family holiday and maybe he life because he couldnāt not smoke.

My partnerās family noticed me geeking out over some of these smaller r/c cars and got me a 1/24 scale crawler for Christmas. I used to mess with this stuff all the time as a kid with my dad so Iām super happy.
