July 16th, 2005, revisited

Three years ago today I got sick.

Sometime in the middle of July 2005, around this date, I inhaled a large quantity of legionella bacteria and they started invading the cells of my lungs.

I didn’t feel sick yet. I had no idea what was going on inside of my body. I wouldn’t feel sick for more than a week, and it would be considerably longer before I knew what was going on – or had been going on.

But for now, back then, I was unaware of what was to come.
