Well, that's what the doctor says... Yeah, been feelin' kinda puny and have has a little cough and this mornin' when I went down to the Veggie garden I couldn't quite get me a food breath coming up the hill to the garden so I called my reg. doc and he said to go to the ER... Thay took exrays an' listened to my ionnards thru a stethascope and...

...said that I got bacterial pneumonia... Man, that's a kick in the chest...

Put me on 5 days of antibiotics... Hope that takes care of it 'cause if it don't then it might be viril, or even worser, and that would be a bigger kick in the chest...

So, yeah, the ol' hillbiily sho nuff appreciate yer thoughts and if yer of Faith, ya' might want to drop a few thoughts with the Big Guy...

Thank you ahead of time...

A little song to cheer you up Bobz:

Woody Guthrie
"Dust Pneumonia Blues"

I got that dust pneumony, pneumony in my lung,
I got the dust pneumony, pneumony in my lung,
An' I'm a-gonna sing this dust pneumony song.

I went to the doctor, and the doctor, said, "My son,"
I went to the doctor, and the doctor, said, "My son,
You got that dust pneumony an' you ain't got long, not long."

Now there ought to be some yodelin' in this song;
Yeah, there ought to be some yodelin' in this song;
But I can't yodel for the rattlin' in my lung.

My good gal sings the dust pneumony blues,
My good gal sings the dust pneumony blues,
She loves me 'cause she's got the dust pneumony, too.

It it wasn't for choppin' my hoe would turn to rust,
If it wasn't for choppin' my hoe would turn to rust,
I can't find a woman in this black ol' Texas dust.

Down in Oklahoma, the wind blows mighty strong,
Down in Oklahoma, the wind blows mighty strong,
If you want to get a mama, just sing a California song.

Down in Texas, my gal fainted in the rain,
Down in Texas, my gal fainted in the rain,
I throwed a bucket o' dirt in her face just to bring her back again.

Look --- Bobert -- this is no silly business. Your gonna be a while getting your full energy level back, as this fades, thanks to the miracle of antibiotics.

You absol-fucking-lutely MUST :

1. Take it easy and do nothing to over strain your oxygen levels; let them recover at their own pace and be gentle on them lungs.

2. Do NOT smoke any goddamn thing. Teach PVine to bake brownies if you must.

3. Do NOT be a tough guy--just get in tight and friendly with your body and work it out on the right gradual slope.

4. Do NOT go out in the rain and be a hero.

Take care of yourself, buddy.

From: Ebbie

Bobert, I'm going to scare the socks off'n you. This is serious stuff, as you know, but I want to be sure you KNOW it. So here goes:

In June I spent a week in Fairbanks Alaska where I stayed in a hostel (had a great time).

There I met this Englishman, from Dorset, I think, who had half of all of his fingers, except his thumbs, missing. He said his toes were also mostly gone. Being from Alaska, I assumed that he had lost the digits to frostbite in mountain climbing or some such.

Instead, he told me, he'd had pneumonia a few years back. The beastie went through his lung-walls and into his bloodstream. He had very little warning: didn't feel too hot one Saturday morning and went to the emergency room on Sunday afternoon. By Sunday night he was unconscious.

He said he went from being a working man to probably never working another day in his life (he is now in his early 60s, I think.)

His message? If you are told you have pneumonia, take care of it.

Love
Ebbie

Started last week to get the signs of flu again - I had the shots, but it's a bit of a lottery whether what gets you was thought to be 'important' enough to be loaded into the shots.

I went out and bought a 3 Kg bag of oranges - and ate several a day for first few days, then a couple a day thereafter.

Knocked it back, now just slight sniffle. Won't hurt you Bobert. Vitamin C - with the flavinoids and minerals - much better than just tablets - can use any citrus, lemons are good too.

We used to get lemons that had synephrine (a natural relative of pesuoephedrine) naturally in them, but now they seem to have bred that out - anybody know what strain of lemon will still have it?

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'.

Let's have a word about antibiotics here..............Great stuff but over the years they have become so misused as to be far less effective and newer bacterial strains have come along that are resistant to many. One of them ain't real pleasant and you already have it in you!!!!

Got this bacterai we'll call C-Dif..........C-Dif is one of the many naturally occuring bacterias in your colon and its very resistant to antibiotics. See, when you take antibiotics they kill off all sorts of bacteria in your bowels and sometimes so many "good" bacteria that you're left with a whole lot of C-dif...a bad bacteria that will give you the shits like you never had 'em before resulting in serious dehydration and will also eat away at the lining of your colon making it bleed and eventually perforating it. Result=peritoneal infections and death. Ol' C-Dif is real friggin' serious.

And of course the only thing that kills it is..........a very specific antibiotic. C-Dif is on the rise as a result of antibiotic mis use. Do yourself a favor. Eat shitloads of yogurt or go buy some "pro-biotics" which are pill form bacteria to replace the ones the antibiotics are killing and this has been shown to be effective somewhat. Its a damn good idea in any case.

Happy sickness Bobertz!

Right on, Spaw. There are various types of acidopholis (in capsule form) that will replace the friendly bacteria that your bowels need. Take it 2 or 3 times a day. It can't hurt you, but it sure can help if the antibiotics have killed off all the good bacteria.

Well, okay... The sumabich din't get me last night so, Yaahoo, Cowabunga, etc...

The advice on killin' off the ggod bacteria in my tummy and innards was one that I hadn't thought of... I hate yogart... It tastes like someone ground up chalk or spaking compound and mixed it in there but I'll do the "acidopolis" and have the P-Vine check out the "pro-biotics", whatever that is...

Okay, no tractor...

Okay, less beer... Maybe 2 'er 3 but no more... Didn't say nuthin' in the destructions about beer... Not even in the info sheet on the pills which is write in small type so you need a magnifyin' glass to read it and talks about everything but who kidnapped the Limburgh baby...

Yeah... Water, more water... rest 'n more rest...

I did go down to the garden and picked zucinni, yeller squash and cut some okra this mornin'... Think I'll make that my daily fun... The destructions do say to get up and move around a little 'er it can get worse so ain't like it's gonna be just sleep and "Three Stooges"

Eb,

Don'tcha worry none... I can be a very good sick boy... I learnt it when I was 6 years old and had to be in the hospital for 6 months with polio ans then another years of rehab... See, I have experience to fall back on... I ain't gonna do too much stupid other than watchin' TV... That is about the stupidest thing I'm doin'... I know I'm sick and I know that when you ain't 16 anymore that when yer sick you just gotta be sick and do what yer told...

The P-Vine just told me to get off this PacMan 'chine so, for now, that's what I'm gonna do...

Okay, I'll try some yogart... Yuck!!! I like cottage cheeze... Will it do the same as yogart??? I mean, it comes in a similar containerm don't it???

Gotta go... Larry, Curly and Mo just bought this old hotel... Maybe I can learn somethin'???

Bobert darlin'

Cottage cheese won't do the trick.

I hate yoghurt too - can't even get the spoon close enough to my mouth to swallow but I do get a very bad reaction the antibiotics.

Each time I have to start an antibiotic regime I take a couple of acidophilus capsules about 30 minutes later, to repopulate the gut with the friendly bacteria it needs. If I don't do that by day 4 I'm extremely unwell and have to stop the antibiotics, with the medico's agreement.

Don't take the acidophilus with hot liquids and keep the container in the fridge. Make sure that you leave time between the two lots of pills, otherwise the antibiotics will counteract the acidophilus.

Take care of yourself sweetie - we're counting on you making it to the Getaway on the Sunday.

Spaw's right for a change. Either you repopulate yer gut with the good stuff or inhabit the porcelain chair until it does it naturally.

Iffen ya don't like yogurt just get some of them "Smoothie" drinks, hold yer nose, and gulp 'em like they was that piss from Pittsburgh. But be sure to get the kind that have "active cultures" in 'em -- the more "active cultures" the better. Strawberry or raspberry are probably the easiest to get down.

Hey, Bobert, but just think how much you would have to worry about if you DID have a dog. I have one here, a dachshund, and I worry constantly that something might suddenly terminate his fat, lazy little life. Something like...

A bear might come out of the forest and eat him! (he worries about that too)

I might back over him with the car, as he is too lazy to bother getting out of its way.

He might die from overeating! (this is exactly the way he hopes to go...)

He might expire due to terminal smelliness. He's working on that, always looking around for something organic and utterly vile to hasten the process.

He might yell his head off. He practices hard every day.

The Rottweiler across the way might finally get loose one day and kill him for parading disdainfully up and down on the safe side of the fence and peeing ostentatiously on the Rottweiler's fence posts just to be provocative. Dachshunds do that sort of insulting thing when they know that a large and vicious dog is unable to reach them.

That unidentified bird that's about 2/3 the size of a 747 might swoop down and carry him off.

I think there's little danger of that last thing, actually, cos that bird usually doesn't bother with anything smaller than a cow or a horse...

****

Well, hey, be glad you ain't got a dog to worry about!

You know, you might like the fruit flavored yogurt. Try getting some of the strawberry type, stir it up good...tastes great!

Bobert, I see all the good advice has already been handed out for while you're sick. Here's some for after you start feeling better: you won't really be better! Which is to say, take it easy when you get to feeling more like your old self, no rushing around to catch up on things or staying up late drinking a bunchabeers. Pneumonia can hang around and come back atcha if you give it an opening. I figure you can start acting up around the middle of September, earliest. Good health to you, eh?

If it don't, pict the sumabich over the fence for Rottie to eat... Then tell Rottie that it's from yer dog so Rottie will think yer dog is okay in his Rottie book and then you will have ellinated 'bout half yer worries...

BTW, speakin' of worries, the P-Vine is worried that this stuff is catchy and refuses to kiss me until I find out so...

It was a bacterial lung infection that got Jacqui. With a fair amount of help from Medway hospital.

I am sure the advice you are getting on drinking alcohol is wrong. My dentist (who is a Moslem and anti-alcohol) has been right over it with me. Certainly with the 'cillins (Ampicillin, Amoxycillin, etc) so long as you don't drink enough to puke your pills out, it makes no difference (except that alcohol never does you any good really).

Metronidazole, however, is from the same chemical group as Antabuse, the drug they use to make alcoholics unable to drink alcohol, and the reaction between the two can (isn't always, but who wants to take the chance) be very severe. Look up the symptoms on the'net. In extreme cases, can include death.

And guess what Bobertz.....Richard gives you another good reason to avoid that bad-ass C-Dif............Metronidazole, aka Flagyl, Its one of only two known antibiotics that kills C-Dif. When you're on it you can't even use mouthwash with an alcohol component! I had to check everything that might be absorbed by my body! Then, if that doesn't work, you have a last resort one, Vancomycin, which costs 5 bucks a pill and you need 3 or 4 a day!

I don't know, man...Shane always figures that if he is sick then the best thing to do is drink as heavily as possible "so's I don't feel the pain". Mind you, Shane usually gets sick because of drinking heavily, so it's a bit of a conundrum. He has been known to briefly swear off drinking whilst going through an extended bout of communing with the porcelain god, but he always reverts back to the habit within a day or two after that, and he's still alive, so maybe he's onto something, eh?

Nevermind that...

The P-Vine has declared me "cured" 'cause she is tired of me sittin' 'round watchin' the Chinese gymnastics women team... Anyone other than me see the Panpers line under one of them "womenz" bathing suits???

Ahhhh, I guess I am on the mend 'cause I went out last night to sit on my glider only to discover that bees had made a nest in a blanket I had drapes over the back an' one of the sumabiches stung the back of my hand and made it blow up like a blow toad fish so I drove myself down to the Stanley Food Lion and bought a big can of bee spray and just before dark last night put a sting right back on them sumabiches... And then I pulled the glider out from the wall, pulled the blanket down on the porch and stomped the livin' crud outta them sumabiches!!! So maybe the P-Vine is right...

Be careful, bobert. Pee-moanya has a way of lying low then coming back with a vengence. Drink lots of water, eat yogurt and remember to breathe deeply at least once an hour (even if it hurts) to keep those lungs flexible.

Bee - Wasps, hornets, all those types of creatures are extremely aware of it when you watch them. I don't know if it's only that their visual sense is very keen (and it is) or if it is also that they can actually "feel" someone's attention being put on them. They may have some additional senses in that regard.

Spiders are also extremely aware in that way, as are many types of birs and other animals.

The best way to keep a wasp or hornet calm (under normal circumstances) is to deliberately NOT look at him and put your attention elsewhere instead. Just don't even think about him if you can manage it. Shut your eyes if necessary, and move off slowly. I discovered this through trial and error, having had quite a problem with those creatures when I was younger, because my fear of them made me focus on them far too much...and that makes them nervous, and quite apt to go into attack mode.

Dogs are like that too...if they're the type who are somewhat inclined to be hostile. They regard a direct look as a threat.

This is natural, because in Nature when something looks at something else directly it is very often thinking about attacking it or eating it.

Little Hawk, I've been aware sometimes of an insect looking at me, but not in groups, like the wasps - learn somethin' new every day! I've never worried much about bees, but I do tend to get twitchy around wasps, and try to leave their territory soonest.

Some birds eat wasps, Amos, and enjoy them thoroughly. I can't remember which type of bird it is, but they do. Also, various forms of wasps and hornets will fight vicious territorial battles with neighbouring hives from time to time, so there are numerous violent threats to a wasp's existence.

If you intend harm to a wasp's nest, they're usually pretty sharp at detecting it...even when you're not too close yet. That's why you'd better darned well plan your attack in the best strategic way (like after darkness falls).

There's a good deal of evidence to suggest that wasps, bees, ants, and other hive animals share a sort of group mind. If you get the attention of some hive members in any serious way, the whole hive is often alerted almost instantaneously. I've seen this with ants, and it's very interesting. Disturb some of the ones on the surface of a hive, and the whole hive can become agitated in an amazingly short period of time, and many more ants will come running out from underground.

Another interesting example of the possible effects of group consciousness at work: Watch how a huge flock of birds veers and suddenly changes direction in midair, as if they all got the idea at once. They become almost like a single multi-celled organism of some kind.

Ummmmmm, now I know that I'm 'sposed to be sick fir months on end here, folks, but I think I caught this real early and I do think is was bacterial from using an organic pesticide that has bacteria in it... I took the heavy duty anti-biotics last week and, though, just a tad tired in the afternoons, feel purdy good... I have no pain in the chest and my breathing seems normal so while I'm not yet ready to day that I am 100% over this I think that I'm not that far from it either...

I know that some folks have viral pee-moanya and that stuff hangs on and hangs on but I reckon if we've kilt off the bacteria in my lungs that, hey, I don't have to be all that concerned with 10 months of down time...

Am I wrong??? I feel purdy normal...

Take it easy for a long, long time. Good time to listen to new music, catch up on TV shows, see what the birds are up to, read all of Patrick O'Brian, etc.

I listen to every word that drips from the lips of my beuatiful P-Vine, Kat, and am sometimes amazed that, she being a womenz, make sense... lol...

But really, folks, it ain't like I'm pushin' myself but I really do feel purdy much normal... Is there any chance that bacterial and viral pee-moanya are different ebough so that if you catch the baterial early that you can recover in a couple weeks instead to the months that ya'll are talklin' 'bout???

I mean, I was lookin' at my schedule last night and I have 6 gigs between now and October 5th with the next one on August 30th (11 days from now) and if it is a given that I'm gonna relapse then I need to start letting folks know, including the Bobert's Getaway Blues Band...

p.s. I feel good...

I'm sending all the Mudcat Lassies round, Bobs, to 'get you' for that remark....and trust me, you *will* be a little breathless by the time we're finished! ;-) Glad to hear that you're at least feeling OK, even if you're still not quite back to normal yet. Look after yourself.

No.

But...if you take it easy, like don't move them four-story-high speakers and that 20 ton amp you own, you should be okay for the gigs. Just stick to acoustic or maybe some very light amp and you'll be okay.

However...you might find yourself running out of breath at inconvenient times, like in the middle of a word, when you're singing (I guess that's what you call what you do). Try out the songs before the gig so's you can gauge what's going to happen. And you might get someone to drive you back home, cuz you could be AWFUL pooped-out afterwards.

But I'll tell ya'll why I think I'm better... The P-Vine says so and say to get my butt off this pudder and carry her about 10 five gallon buckets of water to the veggie garden to water the lima beans and okra... So I say's, "Hey, P-Vine, there's a hose down there... Why not use it???" and she says...

...'cause "that's too much trouble" (???)

See what I mean??? She have poor ol' pee-moanya'd hillbilly carry 10 buckets of water down a steep hill and huff-n'-pee-moanya-puff my poor ol' pee-moanya hillbilly butt back up the hill 5 times just to avoid turning the little spigot on for the hose to the veggie garden??? Like can any womenz expalin that with any logic???

You must strictly avoid having sex with particularly athletic and lively types of women like Italian trapeze artists and Russian gymnasts while you are recovering from pnuemonia, Bobert. It can cause a relapse. I don't think you are at great risk of this happening, since you seem to be happily married, but I thought I'd better mention it anyway. Better safe than sorry.

If you can get hold of a rare Midwestern Jadrool and eat its flesh, all danger of any such things occurring will pass. Men are rendered incapable of sex and/or higher mathematics for up to 3 months after consuming the meat of the Jadrool.

Assuming that you can get near enough to eat the thing. The smell of the jadrool will drive a buzzard offen a gut wagon.

She loves you Bobs!   It's terribly simple. She wants you to exercise those lungs, albeit slowly. And, of course, she secretly wants to see you trim and tanned...ready for when you get the "ALL Systems GO! Bobert" from your doctor, as he finally lifts that Hanky Panky Ban.

I'd not tell her about the Italian Trapeze Artists though, else she may make you carry 50 buckets of water. This, of course, would be so that you'd only have the strength to have eyes for her alone..and all thought of Tantalizing Trapezey Women would be banished forever from your mind.

Because, altogether now...She Loves Ya, Baby! ;0)

Well, first of all, I is allready to trim... She complains all the time that I'm too thin (6'1", 166 pounda) and second of all las' night I was watching the 'Lympics on the TV... The womenz volley ball was on and there were two American and two other team an' I lioke volley ball and couldn't care less if them womenz weren't wearin' nuthin' at all... So the P-Vine walks in an' sees what I am watchin' and got all offendercated 'casue she thought I was watchin' these wpmen 'cause they were wearing them skimpy bathin suits... I tolt her that I couldn't care less if they weren't wearin' nuthin' but she din't believe me... Hey, that's the truth...

But nevermind the truth 'cause we are talkin pee-moanya an' womenz here... lol...

Ahh yes...but, she's complaining about you being 166 pounds because she secretly wants 166 pounds of rippling muscles, hence the body-building-bucketloads.

She's also worried about you watching bathing suits, belles and balls, because the doctor has put you on a highly strict 'nuthin' at all' diet, and the very fact that you've mentioned that phrase, twice in one post, means that you're probably shouting it in your sleep, all night long, causing her great alarm and concern.

You just have to face it, she loves ya, Bobs. It's very plain to see and makes perfect sense.

Back some years ago an old neighbor from back during my growin' up years was the captain of the US women's volleyball team.

But Bobert, ya see, what yer yellin' in yer sleep is stuff like "Over here!" and "Spike it!" and "Net ball! We win!" and yer bashin' poor ol' P-Vine in the kisser cuz you think she's on the other side. Bashing women in the face in yer sleep don't make 'em happy. And then stepping on top of her like you wuz climbin' that Olympic winners' box and standin' there on top of her with yer arm raised, waitin' fer her to sing the National Anthum...that's probably what really ticked her off. Women can put up with a lot, but not many kin put up with a guy who stands on 'em in his sleep waitin' for the National Anthum.

And she'd mean it an' I'd grab my little "feely blanket", put on my ol' sneaks and head for the trailer... That's the way it is in this house 'causwe there's only two ways to do stuff 'round here and that's the P-Vine's way and...

I do have the toity flushin' fine as long as y6ou pour 2 1/2 gallond of water in the tank first...

Hey, 'bout the only one gonna be wantin' to stay in there before Sparky leaves is his son, Jamie, and he's like 16 now so he won't care if he has to pour a couple gallons in there to flush it... He prolly just wants to get away from mom and dad...
