How to spend $50

Well, after I posted this morning, I contacted one of the nurse's at UPMC because my swollen glands were really bothering me and there was no mention of swollen glands as a side effect from the bronch. Sure enough, that isn't a side effect, so they sent me to the ER for a CT of my throat and chest. Luckily nothing showed up. They also did a strep and mono test. I am a little nervous about the mono. I have been feeling very tired for several days. I probably won't get results from those test until Monday.

So, my day of rest was spent at the ER where for $50 I got a bed, a mask, an IV and a couple of good hours of reading, what a bargain!( I didn't count the CT, because that bill wil come later : ))

Hope you all had a better day than that! Nancy

Oh, Nancy. So sorry to hear about your Saturday. Do you think it's still a side effect of of your swine flu shot? I'm so glad your CT scan was clear but sorry that you have to deal with any of this!

Get well soon so you can have a great Thanksgiving! Thinking of you, as always!
