after 3 hours i finally got a call from the nurse. they wanted me to come in and have a chest x-ray. the nurse told me to go to the clinic, so we headed over there. of course that was the wrong place. i needed to be in the hospital. we trekked across the street to the hospital and went through the normal registration and wait process. they took the x-rays and had me hand deliver them to the doctor i was supposed to see. all of my primary doctors and nurses were on vacation. their office was almost empty. i don't understand what took them so long to call me back. i go back to see the doctor and they take all of my vitals. i had a slight fever. the doctor i saw said he was an assistant to my main doc, but he seemed quite incompetent. after a few minutes of examining me he leaves the room and says, "let me go see what we are going to do with you." that sure is real comforting. i hear him consulting another doctor about my x-ray and i think he called my primary doctor to ask for advice. it really makes me feel like it was just a wasted visit to go over there. he gave me an antibiotic to prevent the onset of pneumonia or the like. he also wrote me a prescription for 2 therapeutic massages. i have so much tension in my back and neck, i think that may be part of the problem. it is tender to the touch. i am going to get a massage shortly and just popped an antibiotic. i just need to relax...
