Today was a repeat of last Monday's 7 hour fiasco in the clinic, except I was there for 9 hours instead. Whatever I have (and I am told it is quite possibly viral bronchitis) it took them 9 hours wearing a face mask and an x-ray to figure out that it is NOT pnemonia.
The x-ray was pretty cool though. I got to stand around in a little robe thing, very naked underneath it may I add, and get little x-ray particles shot at me. Afterward I could see my lungs, my heart, even my boobs a little, though they mostly looked like little ghostly half circles under my lungs and my heart just looked like a ghostly blob. But it was really cool to see. I wish I could have kept them as a souvenier.
Anyway, there were a lot of screaming children towards the end of the day and a lot of coughing people just in general and yet it was very hard to stay awake. I am so tired. After this I'm going to just go to sleep and stay that way until tomorrow. I've been prescribed lots of bed rest, two days off work and the weekend, cough syrup, tylenol and this weird backing soda/salt/boiled water concoction that I am supposed to gargle with. I am assuming it will kill all the gross bacteria in my throat and mouth and restore me to better health.
On a brighter noote, I recieved my package from home today. It contains clothes, books, dvds, sheet music for the piano and my beautiful coat. It made me very happy this morning when I saw it.
Thanks Family!
