Thank you for the hearts. Needed it, had a rough few days.

Went to Urgent Care, doctor said he didn't have the tools to accurately asses me, but if he had to guess, I got hepatitis A. So I should go at least go in the ER for that. Then he said, something else is wrong, but they need to check it out. Turns out I had just over a liter of fluid next to my left lung. They drained it, pneumonia related. I'll be "wanting to cough" (but don't) for awhile since it was next to my lung for about a month and it will take a bit of time. Needless to say, my temp job at a Casino (just took it for some income for the time being until I start my courses next month) is over. Too much of a petri dish for me. I'll get my Insurance Agent license instead and work for some Agent/Brokerage/Consultant (should only take me a couple of weeks) and work at my pace.

I tripped over my dog, a golden and ambulance later had fractured hip and emergency surgery next day.

I have prided myself on how well physically I was for beng almost 70 and now my hubby has to put my clothes on and I will have to fight for months many months to get back what I had.

It's so easy to get really sick from that type of thing. Make sure you get sleep and eat regularly.
