After being placed on call, I was very grateful. But I still knew that I needed to get into see a Doctor. Did I bite the financial cost with going to the ER, getting treatment I knew would benefit me and not be a complete waste of time? Or did I go with my financial conscience and go to MedExpress and get treatment that was far inferior to that of my homie MD's at the hospital, but pay hundreds of dollars less? MedExpress it was, mostly because I couldn't pull myself out of bed long enough to take a shower without becoming short-winded. The thought of waiting in an ER for a few hours exhausted my feeble body.
After an almost record time at an Urgent Care Center, I came home with a Pharmacy to help me breathe better. I started a Prednisone taper to reduce inflammation in my Bronchioles (which made my outstandingly hungry-they don't kid around), I started an Antibiotic because I clearly had an Upper Respiratory Infection, presenting itself as Pneumonia, and I had an inhaler so that when I walked to the bathroom I didn't get so short of breath. After filling my prescriptions and getting all the necessary supplies of someone ill (i.e. OJ, Tissues, Home Alone 2, etc.) I was ready to park myself in my bed for the next 36 hours. What better way to spend 36 hours of sickness than to watch your favorite holiday movie, hence, December Photo Challenge, Day 2-Favorite Holiday Movie. Clearly, there are no movies better than this. I could watch it on repeat for days. And I did. On a side note, I finally challenged the "A Nose in Need, Deserves Puffs Indeed". I'll have to say that I'll edit that text to say, "A Nose in Need, Deserves Kleenex Cool Touch Indeed". Sorry Puffs. You lose.
Some times people try to knock it out of me, but I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales. Maybe the notes I hear, are the same ones they heard, the night they met. Maybe that's how they found each other. Maybe that's how they will find me. I believe that once upon a time, long ago. They heard the music and followed it. " -August Rush
Photo Blog Introduction...
I'm going to share with you a picture a day, that summarizes one of the most exciting adventures from that day. It could be something that happened to me, something that I witnessed, or something that keeps me asking more questions about my faith and love in a God that is beautiful and powerful. I am going to share it with each of you, in hopes that you can share the memories and moments with me on this Journey. Inspired by, Hebrews 12:1.
