Got a little cold earlier this week. Congested, tight breathing. Got out the nebulizer and the Albuterol on Tuesday - haven't needed either of them in months. Nebulizer quit working on Thur. Drugstore doesn't carry them. Call pulmonologist office - assistant useless. Got on line, ordered one over the net, it will arrive maybe Tueday. Thought I could handle it, but lunchtime Sunday told dh "Sunday 1 p.m., most people will be watching sports on tv, maybe I could get quick breathing treatment in the ER." went there, not too busy, got a breathing treatment, said thank you very much, bye, and they told me Oh No, we have more tests to do. taken further back, x-rays, IV etc.
Soooooooo. Here I am on the 7th floor of the hospital, with antibiotics, steroids and I'm not sure what the other one is going in IV, plus they have given me so much inhaled treatment I am totally dizzy and cannot stand unaided.
Got dh to go home and bring me some toiletries, change of undies, another book, and,OF COURSE, the laptop.
Hope to go home in the morning.
