ER…

At least for now.

Over the years, I guess I have had pleurisy about 10-15 times. It usually presents itself as a deep pain somewhere in my chest or back, but sometimes it settles in just under my shoulder blades. There have been occasions where the pleurisy developed into pneumonia, but I called my doctor quickly so I am not overly concerned about that now.

It is not lost on me that almost a year ago I was in the hospital after catching a combination of bugs. The only good thing that came from that harrowing experience was that the posting I did on Democratic Underground evolved into this blog.
