so the next few days will be quite interesting.
i went to the doctor this morning and got put on this smoking/steaming hissing breathing machine for about 20 min, until my oxygen levels were more appropriate in regards to breathing. then i was prescribed:
1) one albuterol inhaler (the side effects of which can include jitteryness and "excitement").
2) a 5 day dose of steroids. intended to relieve inflammation of the bronchial tubes and lungs so i don't DIE. (the side effects of which i am told will leave me "wired").
and,
3) a big heaping bottle of codeine cough syrup. (and if you don't know what the side effects of that is... well, it's an opiate).
to say the least, this will be quite entertaining.
