I was worried I might be getting some pneumonia from the injury to my chest three weeks ago in my fall. So I went to Urgent Care to get checked out and luckily I don't have it. I have the fracking flu though. Been a real baller of a month.

Oh Fred! You’re in tough shape lately but you are still working hard! Rest..
Hope that flu 🤒 gone soon.
(Mum got Covid last month just before she was set to get booster jab 💉; she and dad were on a cruise which became a floating incubator 🦠 …got sick on last night 😷. Those viruses really suck!)
Ugh, I just broke a rib from a hard sneeze and already had a cough which hurts my rib at every cough, went to urgent care and the chest xrays showed clear lungs, now this cough has to go,
Oh, friend.. please be extra careful. The ONLY time I got COVID was exactly where you are now..had been on prednisone for several weeks, then had to travel to a Covid hotbed because of a family death. The brain fog was the scariest thing of my life, & long covid not much fun either. Be extra careful
Take flu seriously. My daughter (who has special needs ) was hospitalized for months when it turned into pneumonia.
Thank God for good health care and Health insurance ...
Well, dang that sucks and good you don’t have pneumonia? 😬 Now, the real fun part is getting through the flu and making sure you don’t get pneumonia! Drink plenty of fluids! Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️🩹
Hey Fred, bad things come in threes, someone told me after three awful life and health crises hit me in quick succession. They were right things got better for me, so the science is solid, you are good after this.
Don't neglect your self-care being a hero! (I'm just some rando who follows you but you have some hero vibes. This is a sincere compliment, I know it's hard to tell.)
Do you have an incentive spirometer? If you do, use it every two hours and make sure that those lungs expand until you cough! Lay on your stomach and deep, breathe and then flip over on your back and deep breathe.. don’t let the junk settle in the bottom of your lungs.
I really didn't know who you were, but today I saw a picture of your beautiful wife and learned that she and your baby passed away. I'm so sorry and proud of you for still being here. It would be very, very hard for me.
I just read that it needs to be mixed with Alka seltzer cold and flu. Drink for three days. I, personally, like bourbon (not whisky) and oj. Miracle cure.
Sorry. I came straight off Covid to my fall on my stairs, so I can relate. I’m trying to shake my blues, but this is one of my saddest birthdays. Good folks over here though and you are certainly one.
I can relate, I fell 8mo ago tore my rotater cuff and detached a ligament to my bicep. Hopefully I can get back to work soon. I'm going absolutely stir crazy. Get well soon.
Thought I fractured my sternum in May, just badly bruised it. Hurt like the devil for several weeks and it was very difficult to sleep. You have my sympathies. Take care.
Fred, every chance you get, lift your arms and take in 5 deep breaths… get air flowing through the base of those lungs. Also, while walking anywhere may feel like a terrible idea.. get up and walk a path through the house every once in a while.
I had a migraine for a wk at the end of july, then COVID for 2 wks, a scary insomnia ep for 2 wks, then went to the hospital for a super low blood pressure issue, then a double ear infection and upper resp. infection, and to top it all off got let go at my job for missing too much. I feel you. Oof.
