yeah, so...
Jul. 2nd, 2002 08:09 pmlast night, i noticed that it *hurt* to breathe.
when i lie down, it's worse.... to the point of excruciating. it's marginally better on my stomach.
so i spent the night waking up crying and gasping for breath. and thinking "NOT AGAIN."
i have too many damn holes in my various membranes for there to be anything like pleurisy or (x forbid) pericarditis again... yet, it HURTS. and i didn't really have a good explanation...
so i went to the doctor today. he said everything sounds good. he suspects i pulled some scar tissue and the pain is being referred to my shoulder.
even so, since i *did* have fluid in my lungs post-surgery and i have so many damn allergies, the doc ordered x-rays.
i went down and got them this evening. hopefully the doc is right. i really suspected scar tissue--that stuff can hurt like hell.
and yes, i probably shouldn't have gone on ANYTHING rated over a 1 at the amusement park. oh, well.
the doc also told me to take as much naproxen as i want. ;) he said it's worth a try and that if this is scar tissue, that should work.
for now, i'm happy--the musical buffy is on.
w00t!
bunnies, bunnies, it must be BUNNIES!
