He runs wishing he could fly

Yesterday was the scariest day of my entire life
I've been sick and I woke up with a tight chest
Throughout the day my chest kept getting tighter and I couldn't breathe very well
Phil tried to take care of me during lunch, and I thought I was getting better because after I took a little nap the pain had decreased a little
Well I went back to school and had to go to gym for the first time since thursday

I figured I had to prove to everyone i wasn't just a bum who never went to class
I called my dad though and told him right away to call and get me a doctors appointment for it
-->And Believe me that's a big deal I never go to the doctor

So I went to gym and I picked the easiest non-cv activity and Vernon decided of all days this would be the one that we did suicides
So I explained to him I could not do the suicides and the I was having trouble breathing
you know what he said? "Then you shouldn't have picked this activity. I could make up a cough like the one you have."
So I had to do them, believe me next time I would have just walked out of the gym
because those suicides fucking set me over

After school I came home and tried to rest but by this point My breathing had decreased a lot.
Phil came over at like 5 and had to just sit with me. I could only breathe in short huffs and there was so much pressure on my chest
I was hyperventilating and tears were streaming down my cheeks and believe me I was terrified

So finally my appointment came and phil and my mom went with me
and the Doctor said if I had waited any longer I would have stopped being able to breathe and I would have been in ambulance on my way to the ER
My air pipes had gotten swollen and were cutting off all air flow
So thank god I got there in time

I had to do these two treatments kinda like what kids with really bad asthma have to do when they can't breathe with a machine called a nebulizer
and now i have to do those every 4 hours and stay on these disgusting pills

I'll be home all of today and probably tomorrow so feel free to call if you want.
I love all you guys
