The last time I posted was a while ago when I was complaining about being soooo sick.  It continued to get worse- my temp getting a little higher each day- up over 102.  On the day before Christmas Eve (Tuesday) I called to see if I could get into the doctor- but they couldn’t see me until Friday.  So on Christmas Eve I went to the walk in clinic.  I was having a hard time breathing and not getting enough oxygen in my blood- so I guess it was more serious than I realized.  My diagnosis was bronchitis and I left with a prescription for an antibiotic and an inhaler. 

Since I don’t have any insurance the doctors appointment cost me $90.  I was actually much more worried about how much the medication was going to cost than the doctors appointment.  I called around and got the best prices.  The place where I got my antibiotic gave me $5 off my medication.  Then when I went to Target to get my inhaler the pharmacist had a coupon to get me the inhaler for free.  I almost cried.  I was so thankful that people were so willing to help me out.  I never thought I would find myself without insurance and it’s a scary place to be.

I’m finally starting to feel a little better.  I still have a terrible cough.  But the chills and fever are gone and I can breath.  My chest still feels like it’s burning when I try to take a deep breath but hopefully that will be over soon.

Anyhoo- hopefully I’ll be all better in time to celebrate the New Year!
