hey guys,

quick update and a little bit of a vent

things arent getting any better, I am actually feeling worse today, I'm exhausted and cant get up and move around for more than 5 mins,
I keep spiking a low grade fever, and I cant seem to put 3 sentences together without stopping to catch my breath, and it took me 30 mins to eat a half a bowl of soup tonight, 2 or 3 bites at a time. I'm also wheezing, and my chest is tight and it hurts, and I just plain dont feel well.

I called the docs office this morning, and talked to the nurse. They put me on a stronger antibiotic~Levaquin, and told me that I need to come back next week so they can listen to my lungs to make sure that I am getting better that appt is on friday, they also told me to call monday or tuesday if I am not doing better. I probably have pneumonia by the way it sounds.

anyways, I just want to scream! excuse the pity party but I am SO frustrated right now about how I feel, and even more frustrated that I just spent my vacation sick. I feel SO alone right now, I am not getting much help from my family, dad is actually asking me to do things for him and I guess this just adds to the frustration.

I guess I need to look at the positive side At least this was vacation, and I didnt have to deal with school, work is being great about my calling out, and I have no responsibility but to myself until monday time to get caught up on some TV! maybe I'll hazard a look into that respiratory pharmacology lesson (not as if I havent had enough on my own over the last week) or read a couple books that I have been meaning to get caught up on

thanks if you've made it this far, I'm gonna go crash out now

Morgan, there is a horrible flu/bronchitis going around still. Hang in there and rest.
One of my neighbours has the flu and she has been to the ER twice already; deep, dry coughing that just won't leave.....antibiotics that aren't doing much either.
 
Morgan,
I am so sorry that you are not feeling any better. I was hoping that you would be on the mend by now. I am sending positive thoughts your way.
Keep us posted, please.
 
Morgan......I think may be time for you to go to emergency. You feel totally rotten and you can't breath, which is not good.
Please get someone to take a look at you tomorrow (or tonight)......one simply cannot continue feeling this way until Monday.
Demand attention from these doctors and get some results, Please.

Keep us posted
(((hugs)))

I agree with Freddie..... Morgan, hope you get checked out sooner rather than later.

Thoughts/prayers coming your way, of course.

hey guys,

sorry I havent been around, I went to the ER in respiratory distress on friday night and ended up admitted over night for observation. They almost shipped me down to burlington by ambulance, they were thinking pulmonary embolus, and heart attack/other cardiac issues, also endocarditis. they did a chest xray and blood work and ruled out all the scary stuff, but one of my cardiac enzymes was a little elevated (indeterminate) they called my cardiologist, and he had me admitted over night for observation.

the doc that saw me on saturday morning was more concerned about my anxiety, of course I'm gonna be anxious, I couldnt catch my breath! I've never been that sick. I was pretty upset that they didnt put me on oxygen and put me on a monitor friday night, I know I was oxygenating ok, but my heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure were high, I couldnt catch my breath! (oxygen woulda helped me be able to slow my breathing down, would have also lowered my heart rate and blood pressure. I guess that they didnt "get" that, cause they arent into the respiratory thing)

I left saturday about 1pm.

I saw my doc on tuesday, she thinks it was an attenuated flu, which makes more sense than bronchitis (more viral in nature, plus 3 courses of antibiotics didnt do anything) I am doing better now, but still only about 75% I'm still sleeping alot and getting short of breath more than usual, the chest tightness seems to not be as much of an issue, but I just plain feel yucky. yesterday I only took my inhaler once, today I havent taken it yet, and hope to not need it, I also found out that I have mild intermittent asthma, my trigger is getting respiratory infections.

on another note, I am at my moms for a while, and dont have internet/email there, so I wont be online as much for a while.

hope everyone else is doing good, I'm gonna get off now, I have to go do an online exam
