Day #49 – Yuck

I just wrote “any plans for the weekend?” and laughed in that ICANTBELIEVETHISISREALLIFE kind of way thinking about the BEFORE TIMES.

This is my 3rd day of respiratory yuck = 1st doctor phone appointment.

WHY DID WE NOT EMBRACE PHONE CALL (VIDEO) DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS BEFORE NOW?

My chest for the last two days has felt like there’s a weighted blanket on it at all times. I had this feeling a few weeks ago, but this time is without any other symptoms, no fever, no cough…just tight chest and difficulty breathing. Which scares me. What is going on? Why am I not better?

The doctor seemed mostly concerned asking questions about my heart. Tightness in chest, that makes sense. I seem mostly concerned that COVID-19 MIGHT BE IT AND NOT GOING AWAY AND I HAVE BAD LUNGS NOW AND AM GOING TO DIE.

Not really, but my brain CAN go there. Is this an after-effect of a evil coronavirus? Is this a round #2 of bronchitis?

Since I literally have no other symptoms, I was given a new antibiotic, just to make sure. And I am to keep a close watch for any heart/stroke symptoms. Of course if I get a fever or my oxygen levels are low, I need to call immediately.

And continue to use my nebulizer.

These are the endless sick days I tell ya…

I’m just going to tuck myself inside of the three penguin fleeces and hope tomorrow is better.
