Yes, I am, thank you! Here's the long version of what happened.
I thought I was having issues with seasonal allergies. Then I developed a bad cough and felt pretty terrible, but I wasn't running a fever yet. On the evening of 10/5 my temperature started rising pretty quickly over a short period of time. The next morning I took my temp, and it was over 102. I decided I needed to call my doctor at that point and went to take a shower. I blacked out in the shower and woke up a few minutes later on the bathroom floor with the shower curtain and curtain rod beneath me. I managed to get back up and tried to finish my shower (sans curtain) but felt dizzy again. I last recall putting my face against the shower wall. I woke up on the floor of the tub (second blackout). Somehow I was able to finish my abbreviated bathing by holding on to the wall and lowering the water temperature. I called my doctor's office as soon as they opened and got an appointment. My husband drove me there; I was falling asleep on the waiting room chair so they put me on an examine table to rest.
After my doctor did a preliminary check, he said my blood pressure was too low and my fever was high. He sent me to the emergency room at the hospital down the road. I had all types of blood work done, a chest x-ray, and a CT scan of my lungs. That's when they determined I had pneumonia and decided to keep me overnight for observation. They gave me an IV antibiotic and fluid to rehydrate me. I went home with two antibiotic prescriptions that I just finished up earlier this week. The only thing I have left from this experience is a huge bruise on my right outer thigh.
