For those who are still unaware of the situation, here are the cliff notes:

I started getting quite ill on May 31st. On june 5th, I was diagnosed with pneumonia in the ER. I was only kept there for a short time and was discharged in about half of a day. I was given antibiodics, a breathing treatment machine, cough medicine, and so on. Against the doctors orders, I continued to go to class so not to fail my courses. I also remained physically active and drank as well.

Thursday night I was hanging out with m yfriends Tracy and Tara. I kept feeling worse and worse, and started getting dizzy. Very late that night / early friday morning, they called 911 when I lost conciousness. Aparently I had a dangerously high fever. A combination of my physical activity, alcohol, and the fact that the infection seemed resistant to the particular antibiodics perscribed lead to a very serious situation. I dont really remember much at all of the following few days, which I am partially thankful for because ice baths were used to lower my temperature.

I was kept in the ICU Friday and Saturday, and moved to an isolation room on Sunday where I spent 3 more days. Durring the entire time I was on a strong combination of antibiodics and steroidal medications to aide in breathing.

After that, I was discharged and basically been stuck at home since. I am getting a bit better each day, and I actually got some fresh air on saturday. I should be back to my old self in due time.

Thanks everyone for the good wishes. It really does mean a lot to me.

As for drinking, my liver is liking this nice long break from alcohol. Another benefit is that I have now quit smoking from this incident-- something I have needed to do for a long, long time.

Glad to hear you are ok and getting better. Pneumonia is very serious and sounds like you had it bad.

Damn Brad :shock:

The only experience I've had with any sort of pneumonia is when a friend was diagnosed with "walking pneumonia." He was told bed rest for a week plus all the drugs they gave him, stupid fucker was back at work 18 hours later.

Glad to hear you're on the mend, scary to hear it was a close call.

Please. Or at least create another thread. This is in the middle of Brad's not so good health thread.
