Whaddya think this is???

Yeah the jury is still out on tomorrow. He said I should feel MUCH better by saturday. If not then I'll be looking at a chest x ray on monday.
So maybe I'll move the ride over to sunday... Or maybe not. If I don't feel 100% I'm not going.

RM - Pleurisy is something that does not like to be irritated by deep breathing. Imagine that inflammed tissue around your lung and everytime you breath in deeply it's getting rubbed and irritated more. Honestly, I would not do anything strenuous cardio-wise until you can take a nice, super deep breath without pain. And then I'd still wait at least one more day.

Take care.

ditto on the "take it easy" advice. I had pleurisy last summer with my pulmonary emboli and it HURT. deep breathing was tough. mine also hurt my mid back - like kidney pain. I ended up back in the ER a couple days after I had been discharged from the hospital because the chest pain was so bad it woke me up.

of course I did a hilly 85 miler (with chest pain but before diagnosis of the PEs) so I can totally relate to your wanting to get out there, stick with the plan, etc. but you don't want to have to take this to the next level - chest x ray, etc.

so please take it easy.
