New moan, ya?

I have not died! Not for lack of trying. Nearly two months of avoiding 100% oxygen did cause quite a bit of discomfort.

Atypical pneumonia is stink. Not only do you sound weird for having it, you also don't get the exciting and sexy experience of almost dying in the ICU like with normal pneumonia.


Look at those sexy thin blankets...

The nearly 3 weeks of antibiotics have cleared out most of the lung stuff, so they are now in recovery. Which means they are learning to breath again! I am actually very excited, because being winded by sitting is not fun.

Speaking of learning to do a basic task again...I only have 2 full weeks left until I have to be able to run again. Poopsicle. I tried the ol' "Run 5 k's like you usually do." routine today and it only sounded like I smoked a bag of ground up bees who were still angry. 40 minutes though. As long as I can push through the angry-bee-lung-itis, it should be a decent experience. The beach and view where the marathon (or half in my case) takes place is B-E-A-U-tiful.

Plus soft sand for easy burial when I keel over at the end.

I'm so going to die.
