aLwaYs SiCk !

Yesterday was a pretty scary day for me. I had been having back/shoulder pains the previous day. When I woke up yesterday it was REALLY hurting. I got to work and through out the morning I began having troubles breathing. Everytime I took a breath my shoulder would go into sharp convoltions. It finally dawned on me that it wasn't my back hurting it was my lungs, which surprisingly felt the same as a severe crick in the neck. Hence why I ignored it for so long. It kept getting worse and I could hardly breath so I went tot he doctor and he sent me for chest xrays. The week before I had bronchitis so he thought it might have developed into pneumonia. But the xrays were clear. I had to (embarrassingly) tell the doctor I had stopped taking the antibiotics from the past week because they disappeared on me. I had honestly meant to go to him and get more but I was feeling better except for the damn crick in my neck. He tells me my small case of bronchitis has worsened and was acute which is why I was not having major symptoms like hacking up a lung. Apparently my lungs would not open properly due to an infection on them. He sent me on my way with a shot in my ass, an inhaler and a new prescription for antibiotics. I've been taking advil all day for the pain in my neck but I think it's finally feeling a bit better. Rather then a knife being drilled into my back it feels like a dull pressure. That I can handle.

I really do like this doctor, he's new. He's very thorough and takes his time with talking to me. He's so thorough that I'm there for bronchitis and he's got magnifying goggles right up to the witches wart on my nose. I've had it since I was in the fifth grade and assumed there was nothing I could do about it but he tells me it's actually a cyst. He says in his Indian accent " you have beautiful face, that should not be there, we take off" Yes I like this doctor. A compliment is all it takes:)
