For the past few days I've had a nagging pain in my side. It was a bit of a, well, pain, but bearable. Until last night. Fiance took me to the ER, where they managed to trigger a lot more pain trying to put an IV line in (took them 2 times of sticking it in and then wriggling it around). Took an X-ray - there's a spot on my lung. Take a CT scan....a portion of my lung has collapsed. Which is actually good news, because they thought that I might have a blood clot. So somehow, I managed to get a mild case of bronchitis or something without knowing it and the infection caused the bottom part of my right lung to deflate. Huh?
At any rate, they gave me a breathing treatment and injections for pain and nausea while I was there and sent me home with scripts for pain pills, antibiotics and an inhaler. I have to go see somebody on Monday, and take as deep a breath as I can about once an hour to re-inflate it. Fuuuuunnnnnn.
Seriously, I could not make up all the stuff that's happened in the past 6 months or so. Sheesh.
