Maybe this can be made into a show... apparently the CBC does not care if anyone watches...

Ha.  Ha.  Ha.  It 'tis to laugh.

So the radiation pnenumonitis that has been such a pain spiked because
I had gotten pneumonia.  For the last three weeks.  They decided to do
a culture test... somehow they figured this out despite my not having
any culture... badumpcha!  Anyway...it's walking pneumonia because I have
been walking... and swimming... and doing lots of things I apparently should not have been doing.

Which I thought was a great idea for a show.  Walking Pneumonia.  A
horror drama.  I immediately pitched it to a production company I know
but apparently there was a big hit show this year called The Walking
Dead about these slow walking zombies that are trying to eat your
brains.  It was suggested that this was scarier than a lurching sick
guy coughing phlegm being out and about when he should be in bed.

I do not know about you, but don't you think think that seeing an
overly skinny, sickly looking dude moving slowly towards you down the
airplane aisle, coughing up great big wet wads of phlegm and you
realize that the only free seat still available on the plane is...
beside YOU!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!  I am having nightmares just thinking about it... and
I am the skinny dude with cough.

Anyway, I am now on another course of antibiotics to be followed by a
course of penicillin (just to be sure this time).  The reality is that
this diagnosis is actually good because you like to know why you are
not feeling as good as you should be (or were last week).  I have been
told I am pushing things (the cancer group I went to looked at me like
I had two heads when I mentioned I was out and about after a stem cell
transplant in January) so I am going to try and be a better patient.
It is just hard.  When you learn to look at each day as a gift and
that there is joy everywhere (even in this weather), you really do not
want to spend it inside taking it easy.  But, patience is a virtue and
discernment is something else probably good.  Like chicken wings.

I hope this finds you all healthy and happy (or healthier and happier
than when I last wrote).

Cheers,
Rob
