| I may have pneumonia and I may be going to the hospital soon |
|
A nagging flu that hasn't gone away for two weeks has gotten worse...I will be going to the college infirmary tomorrow.
Wish me luck. I'm really scared.

| 2. Good luck! Hopefully, it hasn't turned into full-blown pneumonia. |
|
Perhaps it's bronchitis. Regardless, I'm glad you're getting it taken care of.

| 4. Please go now...pretty please. Things can turn from bad to worse |
|
in a matter of minutes WindRavenX.I am not trying to scare you but, last year when I was so sick, it was pneumonia contracted through a staph infection in the hospital OR. It took exactly 24 hours for me to be fighting for my life in the ICU. Please, I beg of you, go now. :hug:

| 5. I talked to a nurse who said that given my condition... |
|
...I could wait to get back to Boston before going in (I'm in NYC and the only way to get treatment would be the ER). I'm monitoring myself very closely-- anything that goes worse, I will go to the ER.

| 6. The nurse in my hospital room told me I was okay too. |
|
She lost her job over it. Pneumonia can quickly take a turn. I worry...after the experience. Please let me know how it turns out. I am a crusader against undiagnosed, untreated pneumonia now. :hug:

And besides, my boyfriend is worried too-- if I get any worse, he's gonna drag my ass to Mt.Sinai himself :rofl:

| 7. keep a close track of your temperature |
|
the imperceptable changes in condition that can happen quickly, but incrementally, might be able to be detected a little more quickly that way.
Be careful, wary, and get well quickly.

It's really scary being sick and taking a clinical physiology class-- you know exactly what's going wrong and what could kill you :scared:
