Lissen Dude: I BEEN THERE!! More'n once, too. Couple times it come close to closin' my doors completely and it was only by the grace of God and antibiotics and good medical care I come through.
You don't do nothin' except what the doctor says, hear? Take it easy, too -- I remember one time I was in the hospital with this stuff and they'd pumped antibiotics into me via my veins. When they took the needle out and all I felt pretty good so I decided to walk 10 feet to the toilet.
Right.
I sat up, slipped out of bed, my feet hit the floor...and my knees, and my elbows and my chest and I had a helluva time pulling myself back into bed. I sank down like a stick of ice cream in front of a blowtorch.
It was then I decided to pee in the bottle and poop in the pan and let the medical staff worry about it.
Takes a while to recover. And when you HAVE recovered, go get the peenomia shot. It's worth doin'.
