I was diagnosed with chronic pneumonia today by the leading lung specialist in Armenia :o(

I have had this chronic cough for about three months and have been trying to cure it everyway possible. After seeing a few doctors I finally got to meet with this man today who broke the news to me. So tomorrow I have to have my lungs x-rayed at another hospital and Monday I start to take shots twice a day. I went and bought the needles (really really big needles) and the medicine and called my doctor friends to set up appointments so they can inject me. I also have to take some pills. He wants to see me again next week after I administer all these shots. It is so weird having all these syringes and glass tubes of liquid and powder and pills around under my own care. Everything is over the counter here, and I realized today you can buy anything in a pharmacy without a prescription.

So of course the diagnosis has me all scared and antsy about how I do not take care of myself and how I run around too much. So tonight I am at home all alone just listening to music and writing emails... and finally taking care of myself with rose hip tea and miles davis.
