Rest is for wimps
Got pneumonia, says the doc. Kids, leadership, band, business, book, etc. “Maybe you’re burning it at both ends,” said she.
“Whatever,” said I. “I’ll rest when I’m dead.”
“You’ll be resting soon, then,” said she.
Buzz killer.
It’s always better to be alive than dead!
Rest up, get rejuvenated, and then get back into the fray.
Liberals all need you healthy for the tough slogging ahead.
Pneumonia used to be called “the old man’s friend”……..you are far from old, and please take your Doctor’s advice….this country, and our party, cant afford to lose you……Get well soon!
not to be a downer, but my middle-aged and generally healthy brother died quite unexpectedly of pneumonia last month. it’s no joke.
I’m very sorry to hear that. I’m sorry if I offended you.
Oh, no offense taken at all, & I apologize if I seem offended. I’m at work & just taking the odd break, so my words might have been a little truncated & more terse than I intended.
Age catches up to all of us. I used to log 80-90 work hrs a week in my younger years until it started to affect my health. I love what I do for a living, but I love my family more. For some reason they seem to be fond of me too and want me around for a few more years.
Get well soon.
Still on for Friday in Ottawa?
Yep. Will be on drugs, but there. Show must go on, etc. Bring all your hundreds of friends.
Of course you’ll be on drugs. You’re a punk band, right?
The show must go on
Drugs in my pocket, and I don’t know what to do with them.
Went through one whole winter with pneumonia – too stubborn to see the doctor, but couldn’t figure out why I was always feeling so wrung out. Finally did go and was ORDERED to rest.
Listen to your doctor.
Nobody’s last words were, ‘I wish I had spent more time at the office.’
Listen to your body.
Warren,
Pneumonia is not to be taken lightly. I lost a very close friend in her early 50’s to pneumonia. It was quite sudden and completely unexpected.
You have kids who need you so do what the doctor says and rest!
Warren,
Put Warren first. The rest will take care of itself. Wishing you as speedy a recuperation as is possible.
DON’T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE! GET TO BED!
…OR YOUR GROUNDED!
Deep breathing. Every hour awake.
No fooling, it works.55v8
Please listen to your doctor. I know a couple of people who did not take care of themselves and rest properly who now are quite susceptible to the illness re-occurring, a cold will trigger it. Please try to make time to rest, take your meds and get better so the illness does not become something you will experience repeatedly. These people were not very old when this cycle began, so please try to rest and recover. Take care of yourself, really.
Typically arrogant federal Liberal behaviour: opting for money, fame and power, rather than listening to (medical) science!
Typical!
Agree with everyone above. Rest and listen to mellow, soul nourishing music while you lie abed. ABBA, perhaps, or Fleetwood Mac if you want to rock out.
Seriously Warren. Don’t screw around with pneumonia. All the other stuff can wait.
You need a new doctor and Jager.
Rest is for wimps…..NOT…now take care of yourself!
Two words for you: Jim Henson.
He didn’t actually have pneumonia, but he did ignore a chest infection and anyone who was a child at any point in the last five years knows how that turned out.
But being the stubborn Irishman that you are, you won’t listen to your doctor nor to all of your friends. Very macho! Remember Warren…martyrdom went out the window a long time ago except for a few religious radical groups whose preferred choice of clothing is an explosives-laden vest.
Plus……there is now a pnemonia vaccination. EVERYBODY should have this. You can get it at the same time as your flu shot.
Hope you get well.
Don’t make me tell your Mom on you
