ER visit tomorrow morning.
It's (A) pneumonia, (B) endocarditis or (C) pericarditis. Hopefully it's just "A", which is much easier to treat.
My O2 level is down to the mid-80's from a normal of 98% and my at rest heart rate is around 100 instead of 70.
I can't take more than three steps without breaking out in buckets of sweat.
No chest pain at all but I cannot catch my breath.
And hey, it's not that beer disease, so I should look at the bright side and stop being such a whiny bitch.
I never knew Chinese people drank Mexican beer. Maybe it's the limes they use?
I'm scared about being unable to care for Karen.
She pretty much needs continual care and monitoring as her MS has progressed a fair bit in the last two years.
The VA will take good care of her like they always do but it feels stupid to have to put her in the hospital because of me.
As much as I want to yell "FML" I really hope there's little bit more time.
I've never felt this way before...it's the worst.

Jesus. I am so sorry, Checkerboard Strangler. Please go ASAP, do not delay. Hopefully it is nothing serious, but do not delay just in case. I wish you the very short hospital stay and a speedy recovery so you can go home and take care of your wife.

This is what I was thinking. Pneumonia isn't exactly a walk in the park, it kills a lot of people, especially once the bacteria invades the blood stream and begins affecting organs.
If I thought I had pneumonia I would already be at the hospital. I've had it twice in my life and one time meant a week in the hospital... mostly because I delayed doing anything about. Thank God I was young at the time because the same symptoms would probably kill me at my age now.
I can't say much at all without turning into a big teary-eyed ***** but I am humbled by all of this, and thank you ALL so much.
I got treated and more to come.
I do feel better but mentally and emotionally I am not well enough connected right now to my Inner Lebowski Dude Abides core.
Monday will not be all good news from the labs and the imaging stuff.
And that will disorient me a good bit until I can digest it and figure out how to heal more than just the pneumonia.
Lakewood Regional Medical Center (Lakewood CA) is one of the very few outside hospitals that is almost as good as the VA Hospital in Long Beach, California. VA Long Beach is my wife's hospital but it also used to be mine until they became too full to help vet spouses a few years ago.
Lakewood is competent, and they are FAST FAST FAST.
Treatment and surgery for my soul is a little tougher to come by but I am working on it.
Sorry to hear about your troubles, CS. Sounds like you've been through the ringer....I hope you're feeling better. Pneumonia is nothing to sneeze about.
Or cough about.
Feeling a lot better, and Lakewood Regional Med Center says it was not Corona Virus, but they also confirmed my suspicions about my immune system. I guess in the last five or six years my immune system has gone from a Caterpillar Diesel to a Chevy Vega...in other words it is about as tough and resilient as papier mache now.
