I called in this morning and told them that I needed to be seen because it hurt to breathe.Â? I would probably have gotten a quicker appointment than 2:00 pm if I’d mentioned that I was severely asthmatic but oh well.Â? The FNP listened to me and went to check with her MD who told her that it was probably pleurisy but to do an EKG in case it was pericarditis.Â? The EKG was stunningly good so… lots of albuterol and some Aleve to make the pain go away.Â? I expected them to nebulize me but that will probably happen if it gets worse.

According to Pisco, all I need is consumption and cholera and I’ll be a true Victorian-era invalid.Â? Oh yes… I also need to practice holding my wrist to my forehead and fainting onto settees.Â? Given that in Victorian times I’d be wearing a corset, I could soooooo see that happening!
