Useless!

I just got back from the hospital having been to see the chest specialist again. My symptoms were very similar to those this time last year when I had pneumonia. I felt it coming on on Sunday/Monday last week. I was taking antibiotics by Tuesday morning but then things deteriorated really quickly and I was off work the rest of the week.

Doc has taken loads of tests, given me boxes and boxes of antibiotics - same ones from my extended stay with pneumonia - oh dear! He gave me another 3 days off work but then after a bit of haggling he said I could go on the condition I went straight home if I felt tired or my chest started hurting again.

The Miri triathlons are therefore cancelled for me, I might substitute Bali the week after but then again I might just forget about it. All in all I feel pretty useless but I'm not too despondent, my new bike arrives this week after all and I have a feeling that we're going to be in love for a very long time to come.

Follow up at the doctors on Friday - fingers crossed.
