Went into Urgent Care this morning. Started to get sick again last Tuesday and my cough started to get worse. The doctor could not ultimately diagnose me with pneumonia due to recently having it. When you recover from pneumonia you develop scarring in your pockets of your lungs. When scarring occurs, it could also be fluid remaining in those pockets.
The doctor decided at this point, since it's possible that I could still have or get pneumonia that we will vigorously treat like I do have pneumonia. Now, I'm on two antibiotics. One for 5 days and the other for 10 days. Have to follow-up in two weeks with getting more x-rays.
Doctor wants me to stay home for 5 days. No work, rest and get better. Not sure how work is going to take this after being out 2 weeks previously.
I just want to feel better.
