Hospitalization

Well, its off to the hospital. I went to my doctor's and they listened to my lungs, I have broncho pneumonia, which is compounded due to my low platelet and white blood cell counts. They pricked my finger and the blood squirted out across the room...a sure sign of very low platelets.

I noticed that my breathing continues to rumble in my chest after I breathe. I suppose that should have been a sign that I had fluid in my lungs, but I've never had pneumonia in my life, so how was I to know.

I do have a screaming headache, am coughing and generally feel like death warmed over, so I am a little relieved that I get to take it easy in the hospital for a few days.
