It was sunny today. In the morning, Mom noticed that I was making a wheezing sound when I spoke. Actually I had been having difficulty breathing recently, but I thought it was a side effect of the flu and didn’t think much of it. Mom, however, took it seriously and quickly drove me to the doctor. Well, she was right to be concerned; it was indeed quite severe. Technically, it’s called mycoplasma pneumonia, or walking pneumonia. The symptoms might seem mild, but after all, it’s still pneumonia. If my lungs had been infected, it could be fatal. Luckily, my situation isn’t that bad yet—a thousand thanks to Mom. The doctor prescribed me antibiotic treatment and put me under an oxygen mask for a few hours. I didn’t even flinch during the IV infusion. It looks like I’m going to miss a lot of classes next week. That’s fine!
