Walking pneumonia?

.

No, but it's beginning to feel like it.  What has happened is I have caused wet lung.  It's not nearly as bad as it was when I went into the hospital that first time with it, where I was persistently panting.  But it isn't good either.  Water pills, eventually, worked that out.  They have worked, until now, to solve that problem.  Either I am causing extra fluid to dump from the heart or drinking more fluid, or just not voiding enough, so that my lungs are getting very wet.  I took an extra dose this afternoon, just a bit ago though.  And I will be increasing my dose tomorrow.  Tons of snot, coughing from wet lungs, and some minor breathing impairment, is what is happening.  Meaning I have become extra tired.

No, I didn't make it to the trail.  After the shower and a few other tidbits, I ended up back in bed.  I woke for supper, but may go back to bed again.  Just a kink in the plans, one of many that I knew could happen, and will have to figure out.  I'm not quitting, just... backing off a bit more while experimenting with the medications to cover the flaws.  Too tired to do more than eat supper and then probably go back to bed again for a bit, taking night meds as I go.  I'll see if I can hit the kitchen when I wake.  I'll back off exercise until the extra fluid has been dealt with.  Hopefully a little work each day until this weekend, then I will take some serious downtime.  No complaints, I'm working with a nearly dead body.  There had to be some problems, especially trying to push through for two weeks without any real days off.  At least at this stage of quickening.  It was fun while it lasted.  Haven't lived, worked, and played like that for decades.

Oh, I'll tell you, that bath and shower combo is one of the finest things I have enjoyed in a very long time.  Since I'm slowing down on purpose, I may do another of those tomorrow.  Oh, and I may pull out the french braid videos and begin working on that, as a downtime thing, along with continuing with the kitchen, bath, and niche area cleaning.  That I can do in small enough bits, as needed.  Great, beside that ticklishly annoying cough and wet lungs, I know have the hiccups!  Bleh.  I'll survive.  Later.

Nice!  I think that extra dose of water pill is clearing things up.  I'm still down from tough breathing, and I'll want to drink a good load of water to make sure... well... that everything continues to work, and then works through to a balance... extreme dehydration isn't better than extreme hydration.  Balance.  Just an half hour after taking the stuff, though, and... better.  The cough, which I think was trying to removed the fluid from my lungs, has quieted a great deal.  Still an itch to cough, just not a compulsion, mostly.
