The third trip of my life to the ER. Thank you swine flu.

So, the whole time I have had swine flu I have had trouble breathing, or I would get into coughing fits and not be able to catch my breath. Keester would breathe with me (when he was there) and try to give me a rhythm to follow when it got really bad.

Last night, he was doing this, and it was not helping. In fact, I was doing pretty bad, and he kept wanting to take me to the ER and I was insisting on not going (he told me I was too stubborn for my own good).

At one point he was so freaked out he told me, "I am watching you slip away from me, right before my eyes, and you won't let me doing anything about it..." From that, I think you can understand my poor boyfriend was pretty freaked out.

He latter told me I was going to the ER and he would carry me if he had to. Finally, I gave in and let him take me to the ER. As it turns out, he did have to carry me because I could not breathe well enough to walk.

They took ex-rays of my lungs, listened to them, gave me more drugs, told me I am still contagious, told me some people fight swine flu for a month (it's been too weeks so far for me), and made me wear a mask. I feel like I should have a sign around my neck that says unclean or something... lol.

At one point, I was seeing stars and with every beat of my heart my vision went black. that was kind of scary... and I was alone in a hospital room at that point while Keester was checking me in and a nurse was off doing something! yeah, scary.

Anyway, the drugs work great and hopefully I will not have this lovely flu for a month.

If you think of it, maybe send my boyfriend some flowers or something, he has had a ruff couple of weeks ;)
