Originally Posted By MissCandice I am in tears about my financial situation.

I am going to have to cancel my health insurance next month because I can't afford to pay for it. I am already not doing anything extra, I am getting by on 2 meals a day because I can't afford a lot of food. I have the most basic phone plan, I don't use my heater at all in my apartment and I don't drive anywhere so I don't need to get gas a lot. I cannot think of anything else I can do to lower my expenses and it is still not enough. ARGH!

Originally Posted By smedley My chest hurts, not just when I cough now, but all the time, and I'm hot, and I'm at work, and the boys at work are being boys and anti-christmas, so they won't let me listen to Christmas tunes on the radio, and are making me watch football on tv, and are playing football on the XBOX 360... I don't want to play, I want to go home and tuck myself up in bed with a nice hot toddie, but there's no-one else but me here to do my job, and does anyone appreciate the fact that I'm here half killing myself for them? Yours absolutely correct, no they couldn't care less I seem to have misplaced my Christmas spirit, if anyone finds it could they fax it to me, stat?
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Smedley, hon, it is time to go to the doctor. You probably need antibiotics. You've had that cough way too long, and it sounds like you've got a serious infection now. Frankly, it sounds like pneumonia. Get thee to a doctor, missy, before Auntie Pixie has to abandon her family and fly across the Atlantic to drag you there. And in the meantime, tell those boys at work to let you do exactly as you please before your imaginary Disney freak friends come over there and whup them.

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Smedley, I had pneumonia once. It was horrible. Is there any chance you might call your doctor's answering service and he/she might call in an antibiotic to a pharmacy for you? Or barring that, do you have the emergency doctor's offices there? Here in the US we have such places as CareNow and PrimaCare. . . they're a clinic/doctor's office, but they're open nights and weekends. It's not as heavy duty (or as expensive) as a hospital emergency room, but they're often a good option after normal doctor hours. Seriously, I don't think you should wait until next week. If it is pneumonia or even bronchitis, you really should get on antibiotics right now. Please go get checked out. This sort of thing can get real ugly real fast. I don't want to scare you, but neither do I want to see you get even sicker over the holidays.
Originally Posted By smedley We do have an emergency doctor, but this involves going to the local emergency room where they have a doctor who covers for our local doctor's surgery (I know very bizarre) they also cover several other practices though, and the only other time I had to use it was when my niece was visiting and developed conjunctivitis, we got preferential access and we were still there 25 mins. I believe as standard it can take several hours to be seen I promise if it gets any worse I will go though, I think half the problem is the fact that I'm stuck in this place and not at home sleeping in the middle of the night like normal people... This being said we're going to my parents on boxing day, if I'm not better by then my mother is likely to drag me to their doctor's whether I like it or not Mum's eh?

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter I'm going to hold you to that promise then. If it gets any worse AT ALL, you promised to go to the emergency doctor. And you know your mum will back me up on this. Don't make me call her. ;-)
