When you find out, let me know...

I have a slight habit of getting sick. My medical history is quite extensive in fact.

Even since I have started this blog (Jan 2010), the following has happened to me:

• A laparoscopy (a camera inserted through your belly button)
• An ultrasound
• A burst cyst that had to be removed by keyhole surgery
• A strange reaction to the anaesthetic used for the operation (not too serious, just went bipolar for three hours)
• Various flus/chest infections/viruses/colds
• I fell down the stairs in Connolly Station. Cue trip to hospital in an ambulance, neck x rays, a whole chunk knocked out of my leg and a concussion.
• A neck injury that involved various awful medications, a panic attack, MRI scans, visits to a neurologist, muscle response tests, physiotherapy, a visit to a pain specialist and acupuncture.
• Throw migraines into the list and that’s probably everything.

But for most people, that is quite a lot to happen in only two years. Even though I know for others, it’d be nothing.

And what I have now is not really that bad either. A chest infection? I’ve had loadsa those in the past! A really bad, deep-down-in-the-lungs one? Ah still, I’ve survived worse! 

Except I began coughing up blood (Hemoptysis is the correct medical term for it). Which was pretty scary. And so I might now have pneumonia or even TB. So I have to get an x-ray on Tues to find out. In the meantime, I’m taking steroids, antibiotics and exputex. 

You see, I’m also asthmatic. So lung diseases really hit me hard.

Good times. 

Hopefully, it’s not pneumonia. Cus that is a long recovery time. But I’m not too worried just yet. Just upset that I’m sick, and missing college (don’t want to fall behind) and the masquerade ball (I’ve been looking forward to it since november).

Thanks to all well wishes so far, I’m sure I’ll be right as rain in no time. Although I am a naturally dramatic person, where my health is concerned, I’m pretty used to just dealing.

Hope everyone else is healthy and happy x
