Pneumonia after effects

Author: ElizabethMH

Hi there,

I was hospitalised last week of February with pneumonia and acute sepsis. After 5 days of IV antibiotics the pneumonia cleared. I followed up with 5 days of oral antibiotics. I am left with this terrible cough, mainly chest and phlegmy. They say this can go on for a month -so I’ve got about 2 weeks left of this. My muscles are now aching from the coughing.

Last July I started learning the piano, so my clarinet practice went a little off to the side but I still tried to practice long tones to maintain my embouchure at least.

Last November I developed tendinitis in both arms (not from either piano or clarinet), so I can’t really practice either instrument.

My embouchure is totally gone now (haven’t tested but know), and of course I cannot put air into the instrument. With the tendinitis I could possibly hold one of my lighter clarinet for a short time if I could put air in it.

Have any of you experienced pneumonia and how long did it take you to recover, and get back to the clarinet? I know everyone is different but it would be good to get some sort of a gauge. Thanks.

Elizabeth
