There's a new ER/clinic by my place. In fact directly across the street. I drove to the Urgent Care that used to be in my area, but apparently they moved. So back to the ER. This place was AWESOME. If I ever have to go to the ER again I'm going there.
Super new, fantastic staff, and clean clean clean. I was whisked in and "pampered" immediately. No waiting. I had 4 people getting me into a bed, shoes off (and other items of clothing removed), a warm blanket, a blood pressure cuff, and a oxygen doo-hickey on my finger before I could even get my name out. The entire process was like a well rehearsed ballet. And nice....man every single person was friendly and nice. I felt safe and taken care of.
After the initial consultation with the nurse, the doctor came in and listened to my lungs. She was a bit concerned and so sent me for a chest X-ray. I got to go on a road trip in the gurney to the X-ray room. WEEEEEE.
X-rays have really come a long way. These are digital and immediate. It was so quick. Well quick - ish. I still had to wait for the doctor to review them.
She came in about 30 minutes later with the prognosis. Bronchitis. Oh boy! She handed me a prescription for some antibiotics and sent me on my way.
I'm day 3 into my antibiotics and I'm feeling much better - thanks for asking. I've been working from home to keep the germs to myself...I'm sure my office mate and co-workers appreciate it.
I must say, on the plus side, I've not been eating and so have been losing weight. I branched out yesterday and actually had a grilled cheese sandwich. It stayed down and tasted delicious.
Now I'm off to go hack up another lung or two.

If you went to the place by Typhoon, I thought it was pretty nice too, though hella crowded last July 4, so I had to wait forever.
Hope you feel better and would love to see you when you do :)
