Could be a cold or it could be the plague

Duanne got me sick. I have been in bed for the last three days with no signs of healing. If you have read my previous posts, you would know that being sick is abhorrent to me. I don't 'do' the whole sick thing. In fact this is the first time I am sick this winter. I am quite annoyed that my immune system let me down with only two weeks to go to Spring.

I am pretty sure that I am dying. No one will believe me though. I went to my mommy for some love in my last hours, I even had the big puppy dogs eyes complete with the nose sniffle but she rolled her eyes and told me I had a head cold.

How do you know that mom? Are you a doctor? I see no degree's or PhD's on our wall! Are you really willing to bet your youngest daughter's life on a mere whim? I should hope not!

T o prove to my mother that it could be more than just some common head cold I am suffering from I decided to Google my symptoms. (Biggest effing mistake)

Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis usually infects the lungs, causing a bad cough with blood, chest pain, fever, chills, and fatigue.
( I am not coughing up blood...yet!) I have got my eye on you Tuberculosis...

Plague is a rare but deadly bacterial infection causing fever, vomiting, seizures, organ failure, and more.
(Besides the vomiting, seizures and organ failure this could totally be my disease.)

Pleural effusion is buildup of fluid in the pleura and can cause difficulty breathing or chest pain.
(I am not too sure what a Pleura is but I should have one and I could have a build up of fluid there.)

Asbestosis is a serious lung disease, causing shortness of breath, dry cough, chest tightness and more.
(OH HOLY CRAP! THIS IS MY DISEASE! But I also have a runny nose...Never mind, I will keep looking.)



I just booked for a Doctors appointment...Now we will see who is the drama queen, mother!

Things that make me feel better:

Matt Bomer

The Hunger Games

Teen Wolf

Jennifer Lawrence- She is just too damn sexy

Thor

Tyler Hoechlin
