2019 was a shit year for me, I got mycoplasma just before going abroad on a work trip, I thought it was just a cold, and remember thinking in the taxi that it was going to be a shit week having a cold the entire trip.
Well, it was worse than that, much worse, I could hardly work at all, and nothing I did made me better.
The only relief I got was taking a shower and cough up phlegm sonthst I could sleep, only the hotel reception called me sbout flooding the floor I was on (this was a fancy hotel), and when a technician came up to look at it he half accused me of "splashing and deliberately using the shower outside the bathtub", something I never did, so I got terrified that I would loose my job because of that since I had used my company credit card (as I should).
But i got a few hours if sleep, and decided I needed to get into a shower again, so I did, and was very careful, but the reception rang again, and sent out a new technician, this guy was way better and actually took a look under the bathtub and found out that the sealing agaibst the wall was fucked, I have never felt such instant relief, it wasn't my fault!
I got a new fancier room for the last night, and the flew home.
A week later I was diagnosed with pneumonia in one lung, and got penicillin, the pills were too big so I could not swallow them, I tried to dissolve them in water to drink them, but the taste allmost made me throw up, so it took about an hour to slowly drink the penicillin every time.
I didn't get better and got to hospital, I was admitted and stayed for two nights, I got penicillin striaght in to the blood ans well as drip and finally started getting better.
When I was discharged I got stronger penicillin pills that dissolved easier and didn't taste revolting.
All in all I was out sick for 1,5 months.
Then in 2022, that year sucked as well, got double heel spurs, flat feet and a bad knee.
It took me a year of painkillers and walking home crying from the bus every day to get it sorted, new inlays and excellent Brooks shoes to get it sorted
