I bet your rink is just panicking - OMG 2 coaches with PNA, they'll blame US, so let's blame THEM first!

Hope you're feeling better!

That's typical of them. I found out today that it's not really another coach, but one of the teenaged helpers, and she'll be back at work on Thursday. I am feeling better every day now. I think I could go back on Tuesday, when I only have two privates for an hour total, but the real challenge is the weekend, which is hours at a time. I don't dare go back for privates if I'm not ready to do the groups also.

I think it's contageous in it's early stages.

Some kind of super bug has been going around since last fall. Everybody I know has had multiple relapses. Mine developed into bronchitis but didn't quite make it to pneumonia. Apparently once you get pneumonia you are more likely to get it again (I've had it twice). There is something called a "pneumonia shot", but I don't know what it's good for.

Some pneumonias are contagious. Mine was, I know because my doctor commented that I was no longer contagious after 24 hours of antibiotics. Here is info on pneumonia and vaccines against it.
