litheraSo, yesterday Kris, pullthestars came and pcied me up and drove me to the Emergency Room in somewhere on the Eastside. I was a little babbly and still trying to stop freaking out, so there were lots of things I didn't notice much.
I get in there they take me over and take my pulse and my temp using the finger temp thingy. That one reads normal. They stick a thermometer in my mouth. Guess what? I have a temperature of 102.5. They take me back into a room, I get into a hospital gown and two different people listen to me breathe and ask me questions before the doctor comes in and does pretty much the same things.
He looks at me, asks a few questions and nods. He says, "Not sure what you have, but I am pretty sure that in a little bit it would be pneumonia and we'd get you a bed." I probably lose the rest of my skin color at that point. He smiles, "I'm going to get you on some antibiotics and give you something for the pain you're in. (My back and neck were so tight they made me want to scream and there were times when I coughed, I thought my brain was going to pop out of my head.) I smile at him and ask, "So, I'm done now?"
He gives me a knowing smile as says, "Not quite yet. Some more paperwork and all, but feel free to get to get dressed."
So far, I've been here like 20 minutes. I sign some more paperwork. Kris lovingly pays most of my bill. *hugs and hugs and hugs* He comes back and gives me a prescripton for Zithromax (amazing antibiotic) and Vicodin. Yes, vicodin.
Now, see, I thought that was a bit of overkill personally. Then I took some. It helps with my cough amazingly and it just makes me a little floaty. I don't hurt and I feel mostly normal.
Then I found out that someone really hates me up there. My period started and that today would normally be my day of extreme curled up in a ball pain. Well, thank god I have the Vicodin. Otherwise between the two I wouldn't have been able to move today.
Now I need to take a shower, take out some garbage and pay my bills. And playing DVDs on my player makes it apparent that getting that cable would be a good bet as the picture is rather distorted through the VCR as it said it would be, but that is for later.
I got an invitation to Joe Bryant's wedding in the mail. Wow.
