Well, I think only 3 or 4 of those who regularly read the forums know =
why my finds have gone stale since my daytrip to Wickenburg earlier in =
May. About 4 days after that, I developed a pretty severe chest =
infection, with my lungs filling with fluid and my throat constricting. =
Thinking it was better after a week, I went back to work with a cough. =
Two days later, I noticed myself getting a little short of breath, but =
didn't worry too much about it. That Wednesday, the breathing became =
much shorter and I developed a fever again (this being on my b-day). By =
the time I got home from work, my breathing was so shallow, I was taking =
8+ breaths to every 'typical' one breath. Off to the ER I go, have a =
battery of tests run, get jabbed all over the place, and find out about =
4.5 hours later that I have viral pneumonia. What fun. During that =
hospital visit, I had to cough so hard I bruised the ribs in my back. =
So I miss the rest of that week, and the entire next, taking more drugs =
than crosses the border daily.
Finally, I start feeling better on Thursday in the sense that I was =
starting to feel 'normal'. The caches I found on 5/14 I did with a 102 =
fever, and felt terrible. Guess I wanted to see Reloaded that bad that =
I tried to ignore my body's messages by masking it with ibuprofen/cough =
syrup/cough drops/antibiotics. I can't help but think that the roots of =
my 3 week medical ordeal had something to do with my trip to Wickenburg. =
It just seems far too coincidental. At any rate, while galavanting =
around in the desert this summer, PLEASE be aware of those things you =
come in contact with, especially those things that certain small animals =
leave behind.
