The crash update!

After running a fever for 2.5 days I broke down and went to the "Urgent Care". I suspected that my road rash had gotten infected and that's what was causing the fever. But the doctor looked at my road rash...and did not agree he asked me several times what my temp had been, and when I responded that 102.5, with meds to keep it down, he really got concerned and asked a few other questions. And he then sent me off to get some chest X-Rays which showed fluid buildup, aka pneumonia.

Yes, that is correct pneumonia, which means I will be out of training for at least another week. Injured and sick is not a good way to spend a week and a half. Much less when it is at the being of your Ironman year. Better now than later though. I will try to keep you posted.
