Pneumonia almost killed my dad two years ago.

I respect her right to privacy and desire to look vigorous, but I wish Hillary would take a day or two off. Trump sure as hell doesn't push himself.

1. Yes, she needs to take time off. But just for the record, there are several types of pneumonia,

and she probably has one of the less serious forms -- or else she couldn't have been doing as well as she has.

But yes, she needs to get more rest regardless of which type she has.

5. I'm glad you posted this.

It can't be stressed enough. There is a huge difference between walking pneumonia and the kind that puts you flat on your back. I had the flat-on-your-back kind when I was younger and thought I was going to die. My husband has had walking pneumonia numerous times and, with proper medical care, never missed a day of work.

I hope Hillary has a quick recovery.

6. Right. I've had both kinds too. And I've had the seasonal flu -- and that

felt a lot worse than my walking pneumonia.

2. I've had it five times, been hospitalized twice. It's no picnic,

that's for sure, but we know she's got good doctors - we just may have to get her to rest awhile, and stay away from the ragweed - it's at record levels this year.

3. Hugs and kisses RandySF!

Glad her dad is ok!

4. My dad had it earlier this year

Had a bad cough for a couple of weeks, thought he had a bad cold. Got so bad he called the ambulance and went to the hospital. He was in for two days and I brought him home. He is doing fine now. He is 85 and gets out side everyday to keep busy in the yard. His dad had it once in his 80's, got well, and lived to be 95.
