Good Morning!
So you know how I told you I was going to bake lots of cookies yesterday? well there was a slight change of plans..
Since I’ve had a really bad cough for a little over 3 weeks now..I decided to go to a care clinic so I could get a chest X-ray to make sure I don’t have pneumonia
So I went to the clinic around 12, waited for an hour, then went into a room to wait for the doctor and my mom came and met up with me.
Then the doctor came in and said she was going to give me a nebulizer (definitely not spelling that right hah) treatment to help clear up my lungs..so then I looked something like this
It’s sideways..but you get the idea
Then I got a chest X-ray, found out I didn’t have pneumonia..and I was ABOUT to be ready to go when the doctor came back in and said in the X-ray they found some fluid around my heart
uM WHAT?!
Well, it turns out its really common when you have a virus for a long time (there’s a long doctor name for it once again that I don’t remember)..but that they wanted me to go to the E.R. to be further evaluated
I was pretty scared still at this point just thinking of everything that could potentially go wrong, but off we went to the E.R. around 3pm
Basically I got an E.K .G (which is a test they do where they hook you up to a bunch of cords to monitor your heart rate..I should have taken a picture of that I looked pretty silly) done and waited for about 3 hours total to be told that it’s nothing to worry about, and it will go away on its own
which is definitely a GOOD thing! but it was a really long day..not how I thought my Sunday would go
It does make me really thankful though that I don’t have any serious medical conditions..because hospitals are definitely not the place anyone wants to be!
ANYWHO..once I got home I was STARVING..basically hadn’t eaten since 9am, even though my mom brought me lunch at the first clinic I got too nervous to eat it:/
My mom made an AMAZING white bean, ham soup
Which I had a bowl of, and then I had a salad with roasted veggies and honey goat cheese (um best stuff ever!)
I only have 2 pictures to show from last night because I pretty much inhaled everything
Then this morning my mom made me a delicious breakfast!
She made a fritatta using the same roasted vegetables and goat cheese. So delicious! Something about the weekends always makes me crave eggs!
So I’m thinking my day today will go a little better then yesterday!
I’m planning on going for a walk with my mom and the dogs in the park (no running quite yet, I’m going to wait a few days to get back into the exercise groove)
And then we are going to make a trip to the cheese shop! my favorite place evaaaa
I hope everyone has an awesome day!

That’s pretty much what happened to me when I had bronchitis this semester. Nothing was working and I had to go to the doctor multiple times and get multiple x-rays to rule out pneumonia. Based on how I sounded (I was wheezing non-stop), they really couldn’t believe that it was only bronchitis and nothing worse. I had to do the nebuelizer twice, take steroids, antibiotics, inhalers, and get a shot in the butt (which really hurt, haha). Eventually it went away but I can still feel the residual effects
Hope you get better soon, Chelcie!!
Ya, yours sounds like quite the ordeal also! I actually feel better even just today which is good! thank you though:)
Oh no! What an awful way to spend your day
But glad you are doing good and it’s not anything worse. Very nice to have your mom close by to help you throughout it all. YAY for awesome mommies! <3 Relax girl & feel better!!
thanks Alicia!
