Well...
I'm home sick with bronchitis. My bad cold turned into effing bronchitis. I actually had to go to the doctor!
See...I thought that I just had a bad cough. Then I started to cough up blood. I got a little scared, so I called Aaron at work. His mom sad, "sounds like pnuemonia!" and I freaked out a little bit. Then I went to work (I'm a moron, I know) and I hacked up more blood. A lot of blood. Luckily, I work with a medical student. She said it seemed like pnuemonia, too. At this point I'm scared. People die from pnuemonia. So they sent me home from work, and I started to cry because I didn't know what to do, and I don't have health insurance. I called my mom, and she told me to call this one doctor because they take people with out insurance. So I called...I told them I was hacking up blood, and they told me to come in right away. I got there and waited for about 20 minutes, only to be seen for about 2. She looked down my throat, listened to be lungs in about 6 different spots, and asked me what color my mucus is. It turns out its Bronchitis, and the reason why I'm coughing up blood is because I popped quite a few blood vessels in my throat from coughing so hard. So basically...I got my diagnosis and a weeks worth of antibiotics for the low price of 45 dollars.
and that was the story of my day yesterday. I also have no voice.
