I am just now emerging from a miasmic cloud of suffocating ague. Or, put less baroquely, I am a couple days into recovering from a two-week bout of pneumonia. I’ve had pneumonia more times than I’m able to count—or perhaps it’s more a case of not wanting to remember—due to a rare esophageal disease I have, and… do you really want to hear this? The tl;dr is that I get aspiration (as opposed to bacterial) pneumonia, which occurs when particulate matter—in this case, undigested food: yum—is inhaled into my lungs. It’s disgusting and painful.
Ayyyyyyyyyy, there he is
