Anyone ever had walking pneumonia? What does it feel like?
(I've got a doctor's appointment in a couple of weeks, but I'm trying to determine if I should go in earlier.)
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Anyone ever had walking pneumonia? What does it feel like?
Here are the standard symptoms.
*****
Symptoms of walking pneumonia: Although walking pneumonia does not show noticeable symptoms in the initial stage, as time passes by, the patient may experience following symptoms:
* Lethargy (sudden decline in energy level)
* Cold (the severity of cold increases with time as the disease reaches patient’s chest, this differentiates walking pneumonia from common cold)
* Sudden chills
* Patient may experience mild to severe headache accompanied by fever and also throat problems complaints (such as rashes in throat)
* Annoying runny nose problem
* Pain in abdominal area, ears, eye, muscles and chest
* Patient may experience sore throat because of ongoing cough condition
* Sometimes patient may experience shallow and rapid breathing due to fatigue
Prominent symptoms of walking pneumonia take almost 1 to 3 weeks to surface (this period is also known as incubation period); it starts with loss in energy level and patient feels exhausted. Before this period, the disease does not show any significant symptoms.
Fever that doesn't diminish. Dry cough. Excessive sweating.

Like your lungs are full of fluid. Like you're breathing through wet paper bags.
Yikes. Well, I definitely don't have that. I think I'm going with mild case of the flu.
ETA: Or maybe I do. Yes, yes, possibly I should consult a doctor.

Just got back from watching P-C kick ass at his Spelling Bee for Cheaters. He made it to the final two, just past Adam Savage of Mythbusters!

A teacher who correctly spelled Lysergic acid diethylamide.
The whole thing was hilarious. Tracy Chapman's first word was cow. Lemony Snicket did pretty well, much to Michael Chabon's dismay.

Cool! Daniel Handler lives in my neighborhood, so go Cole Valley/The Haight.
Though P-Cow apparently kicked Chabon's ass for East Bay reign-age.

Oh, he didn't miss it. I think he missed ouabain (wä-bā'ĭn) right before that.
