NO, you cannot go home first!

No exercise at all this week. The pneumonia (or whatever it is I have) has really kept me down. I wrote that I was back on antibiotics last week, and my doctor told me she wanted to know how I was doing but fully expected a I am doing sooo much better report. She didn't get that.

On Friday, I woke up realizing that I had done about 7 days of my 10 for the antibiotic and I felt no better...in fact...maybe even worse. I called the doctor, and they decided that I should be seen again! So...my appointment was for 2:30 and I had to take Nate with me because Jim was sleeping.

The appt. went like this:

Me: I don't seem to be getting any better

Her: You actually look worse to me and there is a different sound in your lungs. I am going to go talk with the other doctor here, and I will be right back.

Me: Spends the next 15 minutes trying to entertain Nate, because at this point he is bored to death...lol

Her: Well....I actually was talking with a pulmonologist and you have an appt on Tues at noon, he wants you off the antibiotics and inhaler, but back on the steroids. And you need to go for a chest CT...NOW.

Me: Ummm....okay. I need to go home and wake my husband up and then I can go.

Her: No...you need to go right now. You can't go anywhere but the hospital!

At this point, I got scared. Thankfully my friend works there and realized that I could not take Nate with me anyway since he is too young to be in a hospital waiting room by himself. So...I got to go home, drop Nate off, wake Jim up and quickly tell him what was happening, call my mom to come and get Nate in case I wasn't finished by the time Jim had to leave for work, and then rush over to the hospital.

I won't find out any results until Tuesday, but I have to say that I am feeling worse with the breathing...I am back to having daily fevers....and I am scared that this is something serious.
