Good News: I'm gonna live ;)

Hettie picked me up a little after 9:30 and took me back to the doc. I had written down everything I was feeling so I wouldn't forget and leave anything out. He said I looked dehydrated, though I'd had 2 glasses of juice and a glass of water. Took chest x-rays, said it looked ok, considering... apparently the antibiotics just weren't doing well for me. I got a shot, new antibiotics and some pills that act like Primatene. He said that should do it and apologized because I had to feel so bad for so long. He didn't know the meds wouldn't work, but it was sweet of him to say something anyway. I asked if I could go back to work today, beacause I'm getting a bit nervous- it's been almost a week. He said Nooo, absolutely not. So that didn't help my nervousness.

As we pulled into my driveway, my cell phone went off... it was my boss. My heart started pounding, but she sounded so sweet and concerned and understanding. She actually chit-chatted a minute or two, we talked about my smoking, which I've cut down on considerably this week. And that she was filling out my time sheet and wanted to check on how I was. She switched to "grandma" mode. She is really a trip. You really just never know WHAT to expect. Either she really is being sweet and concerned and understanding right now or she's gonna fire my ass Monday morning when I come in. *sigh* She's been sweet to me a time or two before, so I think I'm safe. Bleh. I need a nap.
