Day 17- hospital day

Hi guys!!!

So I had a very interesting day today! I woke up early because my professor and I decided that I should see the doctor for my chest cough ( it had gotten bad like to the point of wheezing heavily ). So i got ready and finished harry potter book 6 before we left for the doctors.

The doctor was busy with 4 patients ahead so I waited and then i told my professor he didn't have to wait because she could speak English. Anyways I got in the appointment and we talked about symptoms. Then she listended to my breathing and right away said I had asthmatic bronchitis. She took out a shot of steroids and gave me the injection. Had me puff on inhaler. Then it wasn't enough so I had another injection of steroids. And then she listened and it eased up but was still bad. She said that she had to send me to the hospital.

So I went home and got my teacher and his wife wanted to come along and we headed to the hospital. There we waited an hour and then went in. It was interesting because it was an emergency room with patients laying on beds everywhere. And they put me in a wheelchairs and hooked me up to a breathing mask ventilator. I was on that for a little bit and they also put in an iv with fluids. Then they told me to wait for results.

Professor pupa and I waited and talked about our lives with each other. And he talked to me about being an artist for career. And then the doctors decided I need another breathing mask treatment. It actually worked fully that time and I could breathe really well again. They discharged me and the first thing I did was go eat because I had only had an orange and granola to eat so far today. And then we got my prescriptions at the pharmacy.

On my way home we ran into David who was going to get pizza. So I went with and got a marinera pizza. It was good! When I came back everyone rushed out of their rooms to greet me and see if I was okay. It was nice.

Since then I took a shower and had some nice leisurely time to myself for the evening because my roommates went out to see sex and the city 2. (don't worry I'm planning on going to see it tomorrow!).

I also started a book today called sexy b**** and am halfway through. It is so good! It's about eating healthier/vegetarian/veganism. Check it out!

Okay no pics today because I basically didn't do anything!

But I love you all!
