sanitarium

Remember how in old movies/ books people with pneumonia and stuff went to mountaintop sanitariums, to breathe the mountain air?

I'm sitting in a plastic adirondack chair in my backyard with a glass side table from kmart holding a cup of tea, a bowl of chicken noodle soup, a water bottle, cough drops, the phone, and a book.

Sanitarium!

Wait, was that what it was called?

ETA: okay, I looked it up. That was the right word, its like a health retreat. But it was used to treat tuberculosis, not pneumonia, I guess they thought the high altitude helped. Regardless, I bet my neighbors are wondering what the hell I'm doing out here in my jammies.
