I had Pneumonia about 3 years ago...NOT FUN... I didn't catch it from anyone, that I know of....I am at home most of the time... My husband never caught it, I didn't even know I had it....I thought it was the flu or a bad cold, but then it did not go away, and then I started having a fever of over 103 F, and with Aspirin it was 101, I couldn't get it to go down much, so then I finally went to the Doctor and he said I had Pneumonia....they took an xray....
What was weird and the worst part about it, I ended up losing my hearing, completely, in one ear and some in the other ear.... It was HORRIBLE not being able to hear well or at all if you were talking to me facing my right ear.... I promised the Lord if I ever got better and could hear again, I would show more sympathy towards the deaf and support charities that support the deaf....it's just plain awful, not having your hearing....
Anyway, weeks later, after all antibiotics, after the chest was clear... I still could not hear, and the Doc told me to buy Sudafed and take ritually for like 3 days straight and longer if it did not work....and at first the Drug Store gave Matt a hard time when he tried to buy it for me and made him give his name and address and tell them what it was for and that kind of crud....I guess Sudafed is used in making some other illegal drug and now it is harder to buy??? Anyway, in about 5 days of taking it every 4 to 6 hours, I woke up one morning and Wa'La'! I could hear again...thank you Lord!
