Relief

Posted on August 10, 2004 by Gene

Dad just called from the car following a doctor appointment — he insists that he’s better, and he sounds it. But my dad is sort of like me in health matters, he’s kind of unlikely to see the true nature of the illness, and downplay the severity.
And in typical style, rather than go straight home to rest — my father with pneumonia and stepmother with pneumonia — they’re stopping by Lowes to pick up a few supplies for their front door replacement on Thursday.
Cripes.
Do any of my gentle readers know what causes pneumonia? Three people in my dad’s house have it or have had it recently, and the fourth has asthma. I wonder if there is something in that house that is causing respiratory problems.
