And the room service was dreadful. >X(

Well, I started with a cold last week, which seemed to have improved until yesterday when it started getting worst and making it harder to breathe. I was going to my academy's musical with my mother and sister but told them I couldn't. Had gone to the doctor in the morning because I had a mild fever and my lungs would still feel constricted even after using my nebulizer(breathing machines for meds for asthma) and I tried sleeping a few hours in the afternoon but the cough wouldn't let me and I was getting more miserable. But still I decided to wait a bit more see if the new meds had any effects and around 9pm I decided to go to the hospital.
We got there around 10pm. Since I was coughing like mad and wheezing they took my vitals right away, but still made me wait a bit for the doctor to see me. He said my lungs were really congested and told me I was to get 3 nebulizer therapies and also pills for the fever I had, blood test to check for infection and a chest X-ray and I.V. hydration because I was dehydrated(as I berely felt like eating or drinking anything while feeling miserable).
I was made to wait again until called but it was already after midnight and nothing. The emergency room was packed! You see, we get strong winds that bring up dust from the Sahara desert and the air quality hasn't been well(Everywhere looks like it's covered in yellowish mist in plain light) so children, elderly and people with respiratory problems will get sick easier. Most of the people there were sneezing and coughing like me. Then I got a rather nasty coughing fit and felt my lungs get more constricted so I went to the nurse and told her I could hardly breathe so she advanced the therapies. But then I had to wait several hours before they decided to take my blood samples after 3am, and I think it was already 6am they took the x-ray. Since I took my mini laptop I kept myself entertained reading Harry Potter eBooks. By the time the new doctor checked on me my chest was already congested again and that was around 8am so she said 3 more therapies, added a cough medicine to drink that tasted nasty, another medicine to go through the I.V. and then a small I.V. of benadryl they said would make me dizzy but it didn't. (I think I'm probably immune to sleeping meds because they never seem to work much on me) I felt a lot better then. My fever had gone as well as the nasty headache that came with it that felt as if my head was being squished and even worst every time I coughed. And my lungs got clearer.
The doc added an extra pill to the meds the previous doc had given me and to follow both treatments. I got out of the hospital at 10am so those were 12 full hours at the hospital last night and today.
Now I'm gonna catch on some sleep (having another therapy right now as I type) Have to be up every six hours stuffing myself on pills and liquid meds.
Well, at least I got my appetite back. Stopped by Subway to buy a new sandwich I've been wanting to try~
I'm still getting random and very painful coughing fits as well as annoying sneezing fits. DX
