ok so scratch that. upon closer inspection of the x-ray by a radiologist, apparently I do in fact have pneumonia. hooray.

update

well, here's what's up now. Today I went back into the doctor because this morning I couldn't really breathe. So I was waiting for some time in the exam room so I just laid down on the exam room table because it basically took all my strength to get up and take a shower this morning. So anyway, he came in eventually and he listened to my lungs and said they sounded clear but did a chest xray just in case. I was very glad to learn they had the xray lab right there in the office. I was picturing being sent to the hospital where I would be sitting somewhere waiting forever for some test and just eventually ending up lying on the floor because it took too much energy to even sit in a chair.
But luckily, as I said they had it all in house. So those came back and were clear. So I do not have pneumonia. so that's good. but what do I have? a never-ending cold? who knows. he took like 7 tubes of blood to test for all types of stuff including mono. (I did have mono in high school - don't quite remember what it felt like except that I was just super tired and couldn't get out of bed. I kind of feel that way now but I also feel that way for a couple days when I am really sick so who knows)
anyway, that's what's up with me. still sick. hopefully recovering slowly.

3 weekends

ok this is getting ridiculous. Feb 14th - got really sick and was down all weekend. slowly got better until a sinus infection hit the following Saturday. Got some antibiotics. Started to feel a little better and now bam, this Saturday, high fever, and upper respiratory issues. Started out feeling like I couldn't get enough breath - hit Cody's inhaler a few times, seemed to help a little, and then just went down hill from there. And yesterday evening and today I have been consigned to the couch or bed. Miserable.

I would like to be done with being sick. It would be nice to be healthy again. I am sick of being sick.
