Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers for recovery.
Current Score: YBB 1, Pneumonia 0.
I just completed a 5-day course of a strong antibiotics. It didn’t do much for 3 days – that was disheartening at one point. But then, things improved dramatically. Full recovery will take time. I would have to be cautious about a relapse. I will also think about where and how I caught a sudden pneumonia that literally knocked me out – almost.
I had all the pneumonia shots PPSV-23, Prevnar-13. Now they have a combo/single vaccine, and at some point, I may have that too – this current infection should cause natural immunity for a good while.

@yogibearbull : Thanks for the update & glad to hear you're recovering. I guess the shots aren't 100 % , but probably cut down on the severity of the illness ?
So glad that you are getting better from the antibiotics treatment. Even with the pneumonia vaccines, some patients still get infected but the severity is reduced. Please take lots of rest in your recovery. Like all other respiratory diseases, face masks still offer protection against air-borne viruses transmission.

Better eat some yogurt after a course of antibiotics like that.

Glad you're feeling better now.
Sounds like pneumonia is a formidable foe.
Good to have you back!
