I think my first project of the day is to go to an urgent care clinic and get tested for pneumonia. Whee!

I walked into the urgent care, prepared for xrays. They took some swabs first, and said "you might have pneumonia, you are somewhat likely to have bronchitis, but what you definitely have is a bad head cold and flu and asthma triggered by both of those." The PA said they don't want to xray unnecessarily, so she sent me home with some tamiflu and instructions to rest as much as possible and come back if I don't improve markedly in two days or if my breathing gets worse.
When I went in my fingernails were all blue and my blood oxygen level was 88%. They stuck a second pulse oximeter on me because they didn't believe the numbers at first. But if I cough hard and then breathe deeply it gets back up into acceptable ranges.
