Where Was Noah Wyle?

disbelief11I just spent nearly 7 glorious hours at the emergency room. OK, so glorious may be a bit generous.
I had what I thought was indigestion for about 24 hours. Then![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anathema666 called me last night and when she heard about this, she convinced me to go to the emergency room rather than wait for my doctor's regular office hours. So, I called my friend, S (who was an absolute angel), and off we went to the ER.
Thankfully the male nurse was a hottie, although that didn't make it any less humiliating when one of the first things he did was tell me to "drop trou" so he could give me a shot of painkillers in my ass. Hmph.
Several tests later, I got the welcome news that my pain was due to a bacterial infection that had become lodged in my left lung. Apparently it inflamed the two layers of lung tissue - hence the pain when I took a breath. So now I'm on some antibiotics and two vicodin.
It still hurts to take a deep breath and it really hurts when I laugh, but I'll be just fine in a few days.
Thank you,anathema666 for making me go to the ER, and for staying with me on the phone until my friend arrived.
Now I hear my pillow calling me...

But a control freak, who is also a good friend.

Date: 2003-08-01 07:59 am (UTC)I'm most relieved that you are OK. I phoned the cell a couple of times, but then I remembered - you have to turn your cell off in the hospital.
*hugs*
*hugs again*

I'll see your hugs and raise you a smoochero!

And it IS all about me. Even *you* going to the emergency room. *dancing around* Me, me, me, me!!!! Dis is sick? Well, how does this affect ME?!?!?!
I'm glad you're OK. I just wish I had fully. woken up to talk to you when you called at 3 am. I only kind of remember it.

Take care of yourself.

Give them a nice polishing up when you're done cleaning them.

Sorry you've been having the nasties, but it's a damn good thing you're on the mend now. No more bravely soldiering on hext time, hmmm?
And... lung infection. ::pondering:: So I'd guess your boobies need lots of stroking and petting-better!
no subject
Date: 2003-08-01 04:15 pm (UTC)Yes, my rack needs some loving attention, thank you for asking. Nurse Ana seems to be just about smacking me around and making me lick her boots, so it's nice to have someone thinking of a nice massage of the girls.
(Um, yeah, this is why I haven't sent you that email I promised. Sorry. I'll get to that soon.)
