Around 6.5 years ago I woke up in the afternoon (work nights) on a nice warm California day freezing like I was naked in a snow storm. Got more blankets and went back to bed only to wake up cooking hot. By the time I got up for work all seems normal. Off to work I went. Soon I'm coughing up small amounts of red stuff. I call advice nurse and get directed to go to ER.
There they do a CT scan, doctor comes in with the results and says " with your history of smoking I thought I was going to find something else but you just have Pneumonia" He goes on to say "your lungs look really good for a smoker, you should think about quitting smoking before I do find something else".
It took me about 3 days, started vaping, never had not even one drag on a cigarette since.
Fast forwards to last Monday, pretty much an instant replay. It was right when I heard the mail carrier scan my mixing supplies outside my front door. I knew my mod would also be in the mail box. Freezing my but off I set up the mod. Just then my friend calls me and says to meet him in my parking lot. He hands me a 1.75 liter of Jack Daniel's. He says "why are you shaking" I say "not because I need this".
They (Kaiser) wanted me to go to ER that evening.....I needed to go to work, felt fine. Next day (Christmas night I did a call with one of the doctor and was suppose to go to Urgent Care this morning but I went to Primary Care instead. Got Xray and antibiotic scrip. Doc called me a couple of hours ago, wants a CT scan tomorrow. Gee a blog
