day #2 in the ER.

What?? I'll look back for details. I hope you are OK

nothing to look up. woke up gasping for breath at 1am yesterday. second time in a week. called an ambulance and here I am.
so far: pneumothorax left lung (collapsed). pneumonia both lungs. infection in both lungs. blood infection.
put me in an isolation room at 3am.
hospitals here are shut down with COVID. that picture was my hallway room until this morning. I've had three covid tests, flu test, blood by the pint it seems three times, blood cultures, EKG's, xrays, CAT scan, urine/stool, IV antibiotics and steroids.

Holy crap. Deano, I'm so sorry. I hope the doctors figure this out quickly and are able to safely send you home.

Edit: Didn't you similarly get sick the last time you cleaned your hot tub?

Dean, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope your feeling better soon.

I was getting sick because of the chlorine. no chlorine in the house since. no, this is different

IV antibiotics will probably be for at least 5 days.
