I gots pneumonia

[DotKritic]

After having a fever between 102 and 105 since Sunday, I convinced my dad enough to take me to the doctor (we have a family doctor).

The nurse took my blood pressure (came out normal) asked me what were the symptoms of why I showed up there:
1. There is a yucky taste in my mouth every time I cough;
2. There is an acidic feeling in my stomach;
3. Whenever I breath in all the way, there is an "emptiness" in the center of my chest;
4. When I go to sleep, I wake up to find that I have sweated profusely.

The doctor came in to talk to me about what I had described to the nurse and got his stethoscope and listened to my heart and lungs. I took me to a second waiting room where I would eventually get my blood tested and get my chest x-rayed.

I would be taken to the doctor's office and straight forward told me that I have pneumonia. Now I'm on pills till at least Monday (when I go in for my checkup).

Can't do anything that will get me stressed. Missing out on a ~$200 paycheck

Re: I gots pneumonia

I had pneumonia before, but instead of an "empty" feeling from breathing, it was more I had serious chest pains that felt something like a spasm you sometimes feel in your waist, but it was really bad as I could barely breathe properly because of that.

Hope you get really better though.

I've had this before back during my 10th grade year when I used to play a lot of basketball. My Doctor put me on antibiotics although even after the treatment it sure does feel like that I can never breathe in as much as I used to. It still bothers me to this today but it is whatever.

4. When I go to sleep, I wake up to find that I have sweated profusely.

This has happened to me way too many times when I've been sick.

It hit me 1 1/2 hours after I started work Sunday. Went in at 10am and felt something hit me at about 11:27am. Notified management about my condition 30 minutes later then went home at 3:21pm. I was supposed to be a 10am-10pm, so they were a Lead Cashier short.

It was like my head was spinning. Not really now.

Now I'm exploring legal advice. My work decided to go ahead and schedule me to work next week even though I don't know if I can work or not. I want to see if they can fire me if I can't find anyone to cover my shifts.

Legally I'm sure they can't. That doesn't mean dick all though.
