Going to the Hospital Again

United States
February 24, 2025 8:44am CST
I'm going to the hospital again in an hour. My parents will drive me because I don't have the energy to drive myself. I'm going to see my doctor, take another body checkup, and get new antibiotics for my pleurisy. I also want to make sure it's still only pleurisy and not heart disease that is causing me to have chest pain for three days straight with no let up at all. I won't be getting my blood work results until a week later so there's nothing I can do about that except wait. I need new antibiotics for my pleurisy because my current ones are not helping me at all. I had a terrible weekend and don't want a repeat of that this week. On a side note, my boss contacted me today and I have freelancing work today. It was short notice as usual, but I accepted the job despite my health problems. I have bills to pay and need the money. I didn't have any work for an entire week and was panicking about my finances. Well, at least I have work this evening so that's a relief at least. I just need to grit my teeth and deal with the chest pain no matter what.

Glad to see you have gotten the freelance work. I wish you were able to rest more with the pain you’ve been in but I know you need the money.

Thank you. I just came back home from the hospital and received new antibiotics for my pleurisy. I need the money because I'm on my last $200. Once that's gone, I have absolutely nothing.

What is pleurisy? You sound like me. I also have health concerns and financial concerns. I hope you'll be fine soon

It's a type of inflammation that affects the lungs and the chest cavity. It leads to chest pain and makes it hard to breathe. Me too. Thank you so much.

Thank you. I tried on Saturday and that didn't work out. I went today and came back now. I received new antibiotics so I hope these work.

I'm back from the hospital now. I received new antibiotics since the previous ones weren't making much of a different to my chest pain. I hope these work. I still have chest pain.
