...re pneumonia: I'm doing much better.  Thank you for all the purrs.

I'm not having too much problem with coughing any more.  I still cough a
lot, but it's productive, so it's not the constant hacking that was so
painful.

I still have an astonishingly sore throat but that is so minor by
comparison. The only problem left really is the extreme exhaustion.  I
wish I could spend a season convalescing by the seaside but that ain't
going to happen.  And anyway, it's hard to tell whether the exhaustion
is caused by post-pneumonia or being heavily pregnant.

Thanks again for the magic purrs.
