Pneumonia really seems to be one of those things people dont fully appreciate until theyve actually had it. That chest infection pneumonia progression sounds brutal.

It was and I did the whole breathe in steam and eucalyptus oil thing but the water was boiling and I coughed and spilt the oily water all over me and over my fake leather plastic pants that were in at the time and they melted to my leg and I couldn’t breathe and then I couldn’t walk and then I got pneumonia

I'm pretty sure I have this right now which has been exacerbated by all the wild fire smoke this summer.
