Every case of pneumonia is , I think unique.  How long it lasts or how long
it takes to fully recover depend on so many variables.

But it does leave you tired.  Right down deep inside the bones tired.  And
there is nothing for it but to rest.  Try to do a little each day to keep
your strength up, but a little may only be walking around inside the house a
bit rather than lying still.  Maybe a venture to the end of the driveway and
back with someone to keep an eye on you.

See your doctor if you aren't getting well.  Every case won't respond to the
same treatment.  If what she gave you isn't working after four or five days,
it may be time to try something else.

And if your oxygen saturation goes to low you do need to be in the hospital
where you can get supplemental oxygen for a bit.

My last round was pretty easy.  About four weeks from beginning to end.  My
worst round took nearly six months to get back to normal.  (That time was
viral pneumonia, and I also have asthma)

Well, if you go by my exercise, I still haven't gotten it back!  ;>  I was
up to 30 miles a day on my bike, but that just put me completely off (I
didn't have the lung capacity to ride *at all*).  I'm now up to about 15
miles a day (but then again, I do have other distractions that are
sidelining me lately).  Seriously, it was about 4 weeks until I felt "right"
again.

I keep telling myself that I end up with the cats that need me, rather than
the cats I need.  Glad you were able to enjoy Esiotrot.
