After feeling just generally terrible and a hacking cough I haven't been able to shake for the last 3 weeks, I went to the doctor today. After taking my blood pressure and declaring that normal, they took my temperature, and then sent me into the doctor. She asked me about my symptoms in English, which I was a bit surprised about, and then she conversed in Korean for a bit with Steven (Steven works for our recruitment agency, so he takes us to the doctor or pharmacy or other places we need help at), then sent me to get my chest x-rayed. The x-ray showed I don't have pneumonia, but I do have bronchitis. So now I have some pills and a liquid to take (I am unclear on exactly what any of them do, but I am to take them 3 times a day, after I eat, and the pills might make me drowsy or give me insomnia--good times). On Thursday, I have to go back to her and she'll check on me. So, until then, here's hoping the pills help!

I'm sorry that you're sick, but it sounds as if you're back on the road to wellville. I really like your new profile picture!
Hey Carissa - I hope you feel better soon! Nothing like takin unidentifyable pills, eh? =P But I love the new profile look - sleek! And nice new picture too. Hugs! (From a distance so that I don't get sick - haha =D)
Bummer; I had that a couple of years ago and hated it. I hope you feel better soon.
Well, I'm feeling better - not great, but SO MUCH better than I've felt in the last 3 weeks! Whatever antibiotics they gave me, they're helping. :) I'm glad you like the new look--I decided I was bored with the old look, and the new picture is from Busan. :)
