Well last night was spent in the emergency room. I was at a Technical Training class in Anaheim yesterday and had such a bad coughing fit that I was spitting up blood and pulled every single muscle in my neck. I could hardly move. I've never really felt that kind of pain in my chest. It was like each time I coughed a thousand tiny pins were poking my inner chest. That can't be good.
Somehow I got myself to the Bellflower Medical Center at 5:00p and finally left at 8:30p. Not bad considering it was an ER. I had a chest x-ray, blood drawn, 2 breathing treatments, a shot for pain in my ass and another shot of antibiotics on the other side of my ass. All in all, a good day for my ass. The Bellflower ER is small, tiny even. I wouldn't recommend going there after 5pm or on weekends as I'm sure its a miserable place. Of course, if you needed medical treatment during business hours, then you'd go to your doctor right? I suppose in hindsight that's what I should have done, a day or two earlier before it got so bad. Who knew?
I was sent home with a stack of prescriptions and this morning finds me extremely sore all over, can't turn my head at all. It's going to be a lovely day.

I feel so bad for your ass!!! Something with these winds has everyone coughing but mahn o mahn, you have me beat that's for sure. I hope you get better soon!
I spent an evening in our ER recently (Shaun got hit in the face with a hockey puck and we thought he needed stitches but turned out it was just glue) and on a Monday night at 1:00am, it wasn't a bad trip. Maybe ER rooms are getting better???
Anyway, FEEL BETTER!!!
Maybe next time you'll listen to your girlfriend and go to the doctor when she recommends it? Eh!
