Update from the MD

I went to the MD, and she gave me meds for bronchitis as well as a new type of inhaler. She said it sounded like I was only getting a tiny bit of air into my lungs (not surprising, as I haven't been able to breathe in weeks), and that I'm very sick. I don't know if she is just being motherly or what, but she's very sweet. She said she's very concerned about me, and I need to take a few days to rest.

I have so many things on my plate right now, I don't know how I can rest, but I may work from home for a few more days. I'm at one of the hospitals now, and I don't want to see anyone because apparently I look so pale. That's what my doctor said. She said everyone must be telling me how pale I look. LOL

She was concerned that the bronchitis may have blossomed into pneumonia, so she sent me to the hospital for a chest x-ray. In the picture above, you can see lungs that are cloudy as a result of pneumonia. I don't know my results yet, but I'll keep you posted.

In the mean time, I'm hoping the new (stronger) inhaler will work, as well as the drugs. She prescribed me something with codeine too, so maybe I can sleep through the night! That will be a good start. Overall, I don't feel deathly, just weak, tired, a little shakey, and the whole coughing and inability to breathe thing...I really was much worse at the beginning...
