Pneumonia Blues

Sorry for the delay in updates folks. I've had a lingering cold for about a month and decided to consult a doctor. The doctor's office was filled with young kids. A handful of them were my students. They smiled behind their white face masks and whispered to their parents.

Visiting a doctor who you can't really understand is quite an experience. I'd only go see a professional if I thought there was a real problem; that's just the way I am. Put that together with the discomfort of trying to communicate in Japanese and you can see why I've only been to one doctor in over a year and a half. This doctor was an amicable old man who knew a spot of English. He examined my x-ray and checked my breathing. To my surprise he said I have pneumonia. Bronchal and mycoplasmal.

The point of the story is that I have pneumonia and don't feel like doing anything - that includes updating the blog. Bear with me. I'll be back soon.
