Health Update: 7/8

Hey everyone,

     Just wanted to give an update to what's been going on with me as I like to be transparent if it affects my work in any way. I ended up getting my x-ray results back and was told that I had a partial lung collapse due to Pneumonia and was told I should go to the ER. I did just that and was diagnosed with "Mycoplasma Pneumoniae" which is essentially a bacteria infection of the lung. Only a lobe of a lung had collapsed and I've been given something to help train it to open it back up. I was told that this infection isn't something that can really go away on it's own, as is the reason why I've been sick for a week without any recovery. I've been prescribed a set of z-pack antibiotics to kill the infection and over a single day I went from feeling like a corpse and only having energy to walk to having somewhat of a feeling of normalcy.

     I've luckily gone through life with very minimal health problems, and this was the first time something really kicked my ass. I lost about 10 days, so obviously I fell behind, but I'm happy to feel that I'm finally recovering and confident enough to start up work again.

     Anyways, that's really all I wanted to say. I'm not back to 100% energy, and I run a strong cough, but I feel like I can finally get back to a normal routine. The most difficult part now is to try and keep the sickness contained as it's very contagious and my wife who is due to just a couple of weeks can not get this sickness. Thank you
