September 2nd

Called the doctor’s office this morning – 2:45p appointment with a nurse practitioner.

Once I explained my symptoms…. Severe cough, no fever, but phases of severe sweating, no energy, etc… she informed me I needed to go get chest x-rays because I may have picked up SARS or tuberculosis while in China. Or come down with pneumonia.

Gee – which one do I hope for?

By the time I got out of the doctor’s office, it was too late to go home and get my insurance card and still make it to the x-ray place before 5. (Insurance card was still on kitchen counter because I had taken out of my purse; useless in China)

So… I will have to go another day with whatever disease I have managed to contract.

I have never coughed so much in my life.
