Well I have had quite the adventure today.
In the student health center at FSU (Thagard) they had the worst tv show ever playing in the waiting room. It is weird because I KNOW i have seen the beginning of it before. Tbe same exact show. I don't know when, I don't know where (probably that same freaking place...they probably have it looping infinitely to torture people. Maybe they are trying to scare people away. Less to deal with), but, unfortunately I had seen part of it before. It was a like some kind of horror documentary show. It was based in this bar somewhere where people have english (?) accents, supposedly the place is haunted. One of the waitresses finds a severed hand in this gross big rubbermade box filled with red jelly. "Someone put a hand in me jelly!" And then the bartender is like..."I know! Let's play a game!" And then they start messing with the Weejee (sp?) Board. Then call in a cheesy psychic personality. The acting is really terrible. And I was trying to study. It was grating on my nerves. Why are they showing horror to sick people....and even worse BADLY done horror?
I ask you that.
The doctor, Dwight, was very nice. There is actually a poster in the elevator and he is on it! I had to take the elevator to get an x-ray taken in the basement. I recognized him in the poster, so I asked him if that was him and he told me it was. Funny. My chest x-ray is impressive. I think they were a little bit fascinated by me. The port looks funny. Like a little triangle with a long tail. My lungs were listened to and a sample was collected. Sputum. Oh the joys. (Hee hee..the whole time I was in the hospital they had "Sputum" written on a white board outside my door because it was the one sample they could not get from me. I'm not sure why, or even if, that is funny.) Well....I have to mention it because there is something interesting about it. I am the first student that they have ever ordered this particular kind of test be done on...a sample of that student, that is. Sorry. It is a test for genetic markers and it will show if there is any disease. A radiologist will also be looking at my x-ray. Dwight told me to take the day off and come back for a follow up appointment tomorrow. He also recommended that I get a local pulmonologist here in Tally, which is a great idea. They said my case was a "little over their heads." They were extremely helpful and nice, though.
Yeah so I feel okay. Just tired. And my lungs are "gurgling" a bit. Rumbling, bubbling, fizzing. I don't know. But the good news is that it did NOT look like fluid in the lungs, which is what I was all tripped out about last night! Which is fantastic news.
There you have it. :)
