Last year, my friend Mike faced a tough battle with pneumonia. He was feverish, achy, and utterly miserable. As the doctor laid out the recovery plan for him, he lamented, “Why me? I have to sleep alone? I can’t go out? I have to be quiet? What did I do to deserve this?”
Fast forward to yesterday, when I found myself in a similar predicament after battling some lingering symptoms that culminated in a breathless panic, prompting a visit to Urgent Care. After x-rays and blood work, the doctor delivered a stern set of instructions: “Rest as much as you can. Keep your husband and kids away from your bed. Avoid sharing food and drinks. Take long steam showers. Limit talking. Get plenty of naps. Oh, and the Tylenol with Codeine will make you a bit loopy.”
As he wrapped up my chart, I couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have any questions?” With a touch of sarcasm, I replied, “Yes, why me? What did I do to deserve this?”
