Hospitalized with pneumonia

[George K]

Oh, another thing.

Be grateful that it's late May, early June, rather than a month from now.

Because July and teaching hospitals.

[jon-nyc]

Yes. I learned that the hard way when a fetus at Duke removed my right heart cath sheath and gave me a pseudo aneurysm in July of 2015

My transplant was July 2016 but I lived to tell the tale.

[Friday]

Get well soon Jon.

Any idea how you got this?

[jon-nyc]

Not really. The boy had some of the symptoms a couple days before me but I’m not sure that he had the same thing.

[Renauda]

Not what you would want I’m sure, jon. Sounds though that the docs have your back on this and you’ll be back in the saddle in no time. Tally ho!

Blech… Plans to fill the time?

I’m going to spellcheck old TNCR

I recommend counting ad hominem attacks in lieu of sheep.

Fuck you. 🤪

Fuckety fuck.

Hopefully it’s a very antibiotic sensitive organism.

Thanks for letting us know, and please keep us posted.

Holy cow, Jon. Glad you're getting quick treatment.

When you figure out who gave this to you, if it's someone you don't like, let's tell Larry and Jolly there's someone needing a whoopin'.

Hope you get better soon, Jon.

Some weird internet rabbit hole bullshit for jon to read while he's waiting it out:

Slightly more credible internet bullshit:

Some examples:

Riding or sitting on sea turtle in the United States in a 3rd degree felony.

In 1806, Mary Bateman wrote "Christ is coming" on chicken eggs before putting them back into the chickens. She charged people a penny to watch the chicken "lay" the egg. She was later executed for murder, and strips of her skin were sold as charms to ward off evil spirits.

Roald Dahl, the author of "Charlie and Chocolate Factory," had all of his teeth pulled out when he was 21 years old. He thought teeth were more trouble than they were worth, and he tried to talk everyone he knew into pulling out their own teeth, too.

Americans spend more time watching other people on television cook than they do cooking themselves.

The original creator of Milk Duds wanted to make the candies into perfect circles. When that proved impossible, he called them "duds." He added the word "milk" to refer to the large amount of milk used to make the candy.

Female cats tend to be right-pawed, while male cats are more often left-pawed.

Sorry to hear about this, Jon! Hope you beat this quickly, thoroughly, and with a club. And, instruct the nurses that you always sleep in the nude.

[Rich]

Hope you recover quickly and completely, Jon!

Inquiring minds want to know: How do you put an egg back into a chicken???

Note to self: Future project, to learn more about the Mary Bateman murder story.

Why am I reminded of Marjorie Taylor "Crazyhead" Greene?

On my way to visit this website.

ETA: Specifically to learn if snakes blink.

Hey, Jon. You awake?

How are you this morning? How do you feel?

If it isn't too intrusive, what are the medicos saying?

Hope you're feeling better!

[jodi]

I hope those antibiotics are doing their job this morning and you are feeling better.

[jon-nyc]

I feel quite good. Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

[jodi]

Good to see you posting. So glad you are feeling better!!

[Mik]

Good news. Fever down?

[jon-nyc]

Fever gone. BP normal. I’d be home but for the fact that I need to finish a course of IV antibiotics.
