9 weeks later

So, remember when I was feeling sick, I complained about it here, here, and here.

Well, ya, I'm still sick.

In fact, two days ago, I could hardly breath and went to the ER.  Granted this was after two visits to my primary care doctor, and a visit to urgent care (suggested by my primary care doctor because he was booked). 

They did an x-ray.

I have spots on my lungs.

Now, I'm no doctor, but even I know that spots on my lungs can't be good. (in fact they said I probably had whopping cough (I had it when I was younger, allergic to the vaccine), or some sort of fungus)

Every night, my husband stays away, watching me, because I'm breathing funny, and he's scared.

I'm on my second round of antibiotics, and am 7 days into the 10 day regime, and my sinus yuckyness has turned green.... so that means a sinus infection THROUGH antibiotics.

Somethings wrong.

The ER gave me an 'urgent referral' to a Pulmonologist.  They just called... and said they can get me in next Friday.  This Friday isn't quick enough, much less next Friday.  She looked at his other office, and they have an appointment on Monday.  Six days from now.

Really?

I couldn't help but break down in tears.  I have never been this sick. I've coughed so much, I've bruised my ribs, and every time I cough now (which is quite frequent), I feel like my head is going to explode from the pressure.  And though it's my upper body that's sick, my whole body hurts, even my feet.  It's bazaar.

I called my primary care doctor, (he's in the same hospital as the ER I went to), and he's getting those records along with my xray (that shows spots on my lungs...) and I'm going to see him in a few hours.
