Good news! Had another doctor appointment today, and he didn't charge me for it! AND he gave me/us (my mom actually paid) a 30% discount for paying the whole balance, for his visits while I was in the hospital, at one time, instead of making payments. $174 off!!! Woohoo!
Also, he thinks that the pneumonia is gone. What I'm dealing with now is either asthma or asthmatic bronchitis. I'm hoping for the ab, since that does go away eventually. Anyway, he gave me new and different drugs, and my sister approves of his choices. He even thinks I'll be feeling better by this Friday! :-o We'll see. I'm having trouble visualizing that. But I'd love for it to happen. At any rate, I'm feeling much encouraged today, despite my mom's semi-silent nagging to "just get better already!" (She doesn't say that in so many words, but it's definitely present as a looming cloud of psychic energy.) So yay me! :-D
Oh, and my blood pressure is back down to normal: 120/78. (I know, I know, borderline high. Whatever.) So now my mom can stop bugging me about asking for blood pressure meds. My doctor, my sister, and I all thought that it was just running high because I wasn't getting enough oxygen, and apparently we were right. :-)
