He did just have bronchitis

[anonymous-dentist]

In case anyone missed it, Roier did a twitter space earlier where he talked about why he’s been pretty MIA recently.

Here’s a full translation, but, basically, he got really sick with some kind of flu on his way to visit his family for the holidays because some idiots on his airplane weren’t wearing masks while actively being sick (with what apparently is a potentially-deadly strain of the flu.) He isn’t actively sick anymore, but he’s still feeling the after effects pretty badly. He’s hoping to start streaming again soon with TLOU and some other stuff he’s downloaded, but he doesn’t know when he’ll be able to.

So spare some thoughts for him, and remember to mask up in public, especially if you’re feeling under the weather!

Can whoever cursed me please kindly provide the counter curse because this is getting out of hand

What about an injury like a minor stress fracture in someone’s foot but instead of being able to rest it for a few weeks to let it heal, they have to train/go on a journey/are forced to use it somehow and it gets worse and worse until they can’t walk without extreme pain?

Point: steam and hot, humid air in the shower will help my cough

Counterpoint: my chest and abdomen are so sore from coughing and bronchitis I am having trouble getting out of bed

Anyone remember when I wrote Breathe, about Anthony helping Kate to deal with an asthma attack?

Just wanted to say that, although I don’t have asthma (just my respiratory system fucking with me), I deeply sympathise with Kate right at this moment. Shortness of breath sucks!!!!! 😫😫😫😫

Somebody save me, please 🥺🥺🥺😩😩😩

PS: I sewed those Snoopy Sheets myself 😁☺️

“Ancient Egyptians thought the brain’s only function was to produce mucous.”

Me, on my third month of respiratory and sinus issues: I can see why they thought that.

[bluesey-182]

the infection moving into my lungs after two days, every single time: did someone call for bronchitis? I'm gonna be here for at least a month. maybe two :)

Gave myself almost-pneumonia and my couch looks like a damn stock photo.

Since the whole time I’ve been like, “Am I living one of my shitty fanfictions? Coz this sucks.” Let me tell y’all a story.

Cold weather sucks as a severe asthmatic. I moved to the South so I didn’t have to deal with the frigid winters of upstate NY. I’m basically on and off sick until Spring comes (and then there’s allergy season but I digress). I think it’s helped some, but my lungs are just fucked up ok?

Anyways I went to a concert last Saturday and it was freezing. Then I went to the zoo on Sunday with a friend and it was also cold and swarming with kids who don’t know how to cover their mouths when they cough. It was a great weekend but by Tuesday I was sick - great. I had some warning bc my friend I went to the zoo with said they got sick yesterday. But it just seemed like a minor cold and I’ve been through this a million times, I truly did not think it was gonna get too much worse. My asthma was mostly under control and I rested a lot all week.

Thursday I’m more tired, but I start nebulizer treatments and even skip ice skating class and reschedule it for Saturday bc hey, I’m responsible. But Friday I start to feel worse. Like to the point where everybody at work is like wtf go home and one of them told me she’s gonna get me holy water. But it’s okay, it’s still been SO much worse and I’m really fine.

Saturday morning I wake up and I feel like I’m cured. So I go to ice skating class. And maybe I take a little walk in the rain. Bad fuckin idea. By the end of the day I’m having full blown asthma attacks one after the other and sweating like crazy. My abdomen is aching from coughing so much that it hurts to sit up. But I really don’t want to go to the ER. Not again. So I message my pulmonologist and hope I can just say never mind I’m good now by the time he answers on Monday.

That brings us to today, Sunday. I woke up at 6am after only 4 hours of sleep because I can’t stop choking. I’m sneezing and coughing up fluorescent green stuff, my throat tastes like blood and I have a fever. I really, really didn’t want to go to the doctor but it’s time. I drag my sorry ass to urgent care where the entire hour I sit in waiting, everybody who walks by gives me a ‘goddamn’ look because I’m coughing loud enough to alert the entire damn office. I’m so embarrassed bc what if they think I’m being dramatic and wasting time - again? I awkwardly explain my situation and the doctor sends me for CXR. When it comes back he says “Well, you don’t have pneumonia yet but see alllll this stuff here? That’s inflammation. I’m gonna prescribe antibiotics and (way heavier) steroids and you might have bronchitis already but your asthma is so bad that it’s indistinguishable by now. Also with your lungs you probably won’t be able to tell you have pneumonia until it’s pretty bad.”

So anyways, that’s my week. At least I got a lot of writing done for Whumptober - didn’t have to dig very deep to find enough misery to go around to all my fav OCs lol.
