There are two people at work today who say they have “walking pnemonia”. I remember about seven years ago when I had plain old regular pnemonia-- walking was downright impossible. In fact, I thought the act of breathing was almost beyond my capabilities. I was hospitalized for over a week and bedridden for close to a month. I really, really thought that I was going to die.
Now these two people at work are, well, at work. No rales, no muscle weakness, no spitting up gallons of gunk, no fever. What exactly is walking pnemonia?
