Being Sick Is Getting Really Old (A Whine; Get Your Own Cheese)

[REP]

My epic saga of kidney infections goes on: this time I have a Klebsiella pneumoniae infection, which are pretty common - in hospitalized populations. I haven't been in the hospital for nearly a year, and that was only for a horrible, horrible half day. K. pneumoniae infections are fairly serious; about 50% of those who get them die, even with treatment. Obviously, if I'm sitting upright, typing and complaining, I'm probably in the other 50%, but usually a kidney infection doesn't lay me out quite this badly. And I have to do laundry tomorrow or else.

On top of that, I sound like I've been gargling tar (my brother's been calling me "Froggy") and I feel too crappy to fully enjoy my new (used) car that I was given tonight after the Loved One purchased his first New New Car Ever. Though I did enjoy the the New New Car's heated seats. Mmmmm.
