Just when I had all the medical bills caught up, 
my body figured it was time for another visit to
the Emergency Room. :(

The good news was that the cost for the x-rays of
the leg, pelvic region, and MRI of the left leg
(which showed severe arthritis) was under $100...
much less than expected...and the cost of the brain 
CT scan (which showed no blood clots, brain tumors, 
or anuerysms), was around $50. I had to quit taking
pain medications, due to constant migraines...
basically "rebound headaches".

Two weeks ago, I came down with what first started
as a head and chest cold. Then, I added chills, fever,
and nausea (thankfully, only one bout of that). Then,
the tight chest and chest pain this morning, make me
go to the Emergency Room. I had taken a flu shot last
Septemeber, but was worried that I was going into
pneumonia.

But, I don't have pneumonia, the flu swab was negative,
and the EKG was normal. However, I was diagnosed with
severe bronchitis.

They gave me antibiotics for that, along with a cream
to treat a severe yeast infection in the groin area...
I've been worn out trying to treat the bronchitis, and
hacking like a 50 pack a day smoker...that I ignored
the other area. With the wild temperature swings around
here, weather wise, lately...no wonder my body is out
of kilter!!

I'm heading off to my PCP in a little bit, then to the
pharmacy to get the medicines...and also to purchase a
vaporizer. I used to have one of the Vicks vaporizers,
but it had set for so long, there was so much dirt and
sediment in it (even though it was inside the apartment),
that I felt it best to just discard it.

Being ill leaves little time or desire to work with the
BBS, or much else.
