Not much change here at Cops' camp. Still barely breathing. My fever has bounced around between 100.2 and 103.1, never maintaining much progress in either direction. Doc says I can't return to work until the fever is gone, and that I need to see him again tomorrow. He mentioned this funk appears to be the beginnings of pneumonia, aggravated by my asthma, and put me on a steroid inhaler to see if that will clear it up better than my regular Proventil. I've only noticed my voice has a raspy quality....and a few extra hairs on my chin.

The positive aspects of being ill:
~I slept 22 of the 24 hours on Wednesday.
~Quick weight loss program.
~The cats don't hork while I'm sick, purely out of consideration I'm sure (HWG).
