Swine flu has proven to be less lethal than common flu and you can get better (generally) without any treatment, pneumonia untreated is not something you just get over.
Highly unlikely. Full recovery can be up to a month ... and that's just for resuming normal activity levels, not playing professional basketball.
I know some of you might not believe me...but I have actually figured out the reason for this season's injury curse and I have proof! Everyone is familiar with the "Tiki" curse from the Brady Bunch, right? Well, I first got suspicious when I came across this photo of Brandon Roy vacationing in Hawaii... I got further suspicious when I noticed what Brandon's son was playing with at the press conference for his new deal. Most people thought the kid was being cute...I WAS NOT AMUSED!! The last straw was when I noticed what Brandon has been wearing around his neck this season! It is obvious what now needs to be done! Brandon, return the Tiki to Hawaii ASAP!!
Yeah, but length of recovery from pneumonia is all over the board. A friend of mine had it last summer - it was pretty serious. Doctor said they waited too long to bring him in and it could have been really bad. He was hospitalized for 2 days, and then rested at home for a week and was fine after that.
When i'm at home feeling a little down about everything that has happened to the blazers, I know I can come here and find a thread that will make me laugh my ass off.
Get better Steve! Being a person who had Pneumonia every year for 14 years when I was a kid, I can feel for him.
lol. If nothing else, this season is demonstrating the value of a healthy superstar. Without Roy we'd be heading deep into the lottery right now. I can't help but think back to the Piston's championship team from a few years ago. They're best 6 players combined to miss a total of 14 games that year. If we had that kind of health imagine where we'd be.
Right. Which is why I was replying to Crimson the Cat's assertion that he'd be out for about a week; it's possible, but I certainly wouldn't count on it.
Dude, if H1N1 preceeded the pneumonia, then it is a far more dangerous situation, since H1N1 severely weakens the lungs and makes you much more vulnerable to bacterial infections that typically follow in behind H1N1.
I think I figured it out. Doesn't it seem strange that Juwan Howard is so old and still healthy?! Clearly he stole an ancient artifact that drains the health of those around him. And Andre Miller has rarely been injured and not missed a game in so long... Maybe they are sharing said artifact?!
Well pneumonia is all about letting phlegm build up too much and it solidifying in your lungs. So you have to have some kind of virus before you have pneumonia. But I would wager it was just the common cold.
