Another day, another ER visit

I had a rough night of breathing last night, so I called the OB's office. (I don't have a general practitioner since I'm new to the area and can't get in for 6 weeks.) The OB's office said they'd work me in, but I'd have to see someone other than my OB- no biggie.

On my way, I stopped by Target and got a book to read to keep me company while I waited to be worked in. I couldn't get into the book, but I'll try again later. I forget the title, but it's about some folks who helped those taken hostage by Nazi's in Germany back in the day. Should be good if I can get past the first chapter.

Long story short- I spent 2 hours in the doctor's office and it was very pleasant. The nurses are amazing. The doctor I saw was a bit alarmed so she wrote up some orders and sent me down to the ER. Two and a half hours later, I walked out of the hospital! The ER doctor said I have Allergic Bronchitis- uh, yeah, okay, so how can we get it to go away because I've been sick since November! He tells me I'll probably have to deal with it for the duration of my pregnancy- fun. I'm not happy with what he has to say, but I'll take it up with my OB later. I wasn't in the mood to play with Mr. ER Doc since I'd been at the darn place for 4 hours total and was a hungry, hormonal pregnant woman.

The plan of attack-- I did a breathing treatment and will do two more days of oral steroids. ER Doc says I can stay on the Amoxil (although I've built up a resistance), but doesn't think it's going to do anything since "all (I) have is allergies." The OB's associate gave me some Robitussin with codeine so I can get some sleep-- that should be fun.

I've got a birthday party next weekend, and I plan to share with our friends that we're expecting. Y'all pray I feel good enough to enjoy the fiesta!
