Pneumonia Confessions

Am I dying? For weeks I’ve fought this illness. Chills & heat flashes. Endless diareah.
I can only breath tiny little bits at a time. If I open my mouth or try to speak I cough out of control so badly it hurts.
I’ve lost over 40 lbs in 4 wks. I can barely walk. Setting up is a fight. I cough up thick while flim. I can barely eat a few bites.
I need a hospital; but I live in a redneck state so I can’t get enough insurance. So I set in the floor leaning on a wall seeing if I’ll live one more day.
I wear my n95 & face shield. But that does me no good when my idiot niece runs off to the beach & to parties in hot spot cities without a mask. She argues she read she could get mold from wearing a mask on the net. So she gets the virus & laughs it off. She hacks for two weeks before getting tested.
Sad thing; I don’t even have Covid. I’m a transplant patient. I have pneumonia from getting wet outside. I then couldn’t eat correctly for wks trying to dodge her as she hacked on everything. Then she’d turn the AC to freezing then turn on the heat. Over & over till I got pneumonia.
