Pneumonia?

I made a follow-up appointment with my regular doctor for Tuesday. He's requested the records from the Emergency Room, because he was unsatisfied with my report on their diagnosis. He said that if they thought it was contagious, and they did suggest masks and limiting contact with little Thumper, that indicates that they thought it was viral and antibiotics would be ineffective. Yet they prescribed antibiotics, which indicates that they thought it was bacterial, which would not be contagious. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the treatment provided by that particular ER in previous cases, too. So I don't know. Is it pneumonia? Is it not? I'm on my fourth day of antibiotics, and I don't feel much different. Not that I felt particularly bad to begin with. With apologies for being gross, I am still coughing up globs of blood, but they're much darker, not the cheerfully bright red they used to be. Is that a good sign? A bad sign? I don't know. I'll wait and see. I'm thinking it would be a good thing to take myself off of the usher roster for the football game on the 13th, though, since after 5 o'clock Monday, I'll be committed to working it. And Aerie's got Crimefightin' to do tomorrow, so the boy will be back in my hands. Guess I'll keep wearing the masks and taking the antibiotics, just to cover my bases.
