So I’ve been coughing up a lung for about a week now. After staying up ALL night long from coughing, I finally made an appointment with my doctor. I go in and they take one listen to my chest and next thing you know I am sucking on this breathing machine thing. Then the doctor comes in and listens again and sends me down to get an X-ray.
That’s right folks. I have pneumonia. Totally explains why I have been coughing up a lung all week…why I feel like I am drowning…and why I have been so darn tired all the time.
If any of you had pneumonia before…how long does it take to get over it?
I am so sorry. That sucks. I hope you get well soon!!
I have no idea what the recovery time is, but I'm sending you get well wishes. Take care!
Our friend had this last year and it took him 2-3 weeks just to be able to function and then a month or so to be back to normal. I have heard that sitting in the sun can really help with this but I don't know how true that is.
