Prescribed Weight Gain - Oh Goody

So after 7 days of cough syrup with codine and antibiotics, I am worse for the wear. In a moment of exhaustive weakness, I allowed one of the triage nurses to talk me into signing myself in. The result, my pulse ox was LOW, my chest xray revealed abnormalities consistent with scarring and a collapsed lung and I am now on steroids and an inhaler. So the bright side is the side effects of the steroids - Get your popcorn ready folks! Swelling, bloating, increased appetite, mood swings, and WEIGHT GAIN.

Stay tuned, I am sure there is more good news tomorrow!
