We wound up having to spend most of the workday yesterday out in the rain and wind. I was feeling rather crappy by the end of the day, and wound up calling in sick this morning. Went into the clinic, told them that I basically felt like I had influenza, except no congestion, runs, or sore throat. Just a high fever, fatigue, aches (particularly in the joints), and a bit of a cough.
They did a chest x-ray, and it turns out I have early-stage pneumonia in my left lung. I'm glad they caught it early, as I don't want to imagine how bad I would feel if it was a full-blown case.
The P.A. gave me an open ended sick note for my employer, minimum of one week.
I don't really have any appetite, but the Biaxin that was prescribed to me has to be taken with food, so I got some sweet & sour pork to eat at the store while waiting for my drug order to be filled. Odd stuff to be eating when sick, but when nothing sounds appetizing, at least a favorite food like that is somewhat easier to ingest.

AND I like that zinc nasal spray too.
