I apologize for my absence

Everyone, I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth. I've been extremely ill. I may be better now than I was last week, but I'm not anywhere near out of the woods.

I know what I said previously about posting prewritten articles during sick time. I have been too sick to even do that.

I have pneumonia. My fever spiked to 104F last week. It's now down to 100F, give or take. I've been coughing up my lungs. Vomiting from the antibiotics, and just from feeling so horrible. I'm in a lot of pain. My chest has been killing me. I have very little energy, and run out of it fast. Pneumonia is hell.

I'm going to try to add prewritten material over the next while. Unless I have a downturn which I pray doesn't happen. My stepdad is visiting from Portland next week, even though I am still beaten up by this. Did I just mention that pneumonia is hell?
