New lungs please.

I went out to an Alpha course last night.  Not sure I will be going again, but that's another matter, and not what I want to talk about right now.  I went out last night and started coughing, which wasn't nice!  I took my inhalers, but that wasn't why I was coughing, it's the stupid freaking infection that doesn't want to shift!

I got back to the flat around 9.30pm, at around 9.45pm I noticed how much my right lung hurt when I tried to breath in.  Not a little breath but a really  big breath, you know the ones.  The breaths you take after you've been coughing, or the one's you take when you yawn.  They are the breaths I couldn't take.  I didn't sleep well last night as I couldn't find a poision I could sleep in that didn't cause my lung to really hurt.  So after next to no sleep I phoned the doctors this morning and got an appointment at 12.20pm.  I got to the doctors and she had a listen and a feel but couldn't see anything, but with everything that's been going on with my lungs said I had to go up to the hospital to get a chest X-ray!  Oh great.  So she phoned the hospital and I waited around.  While waiting around I phoned work to explain that I wouldn't be in for the rest of the day.  At 1.55pm the doctor called me back into her office and said she had got me an appointment up at the local hospital and I needed to get up there.  She asked how I would get there, I said walk (It would take about 20-30 minutes).  She said she was going up there anyway so she gave me a lift not wanting me to walk in the rain and the cold.  So off we went.  Got to the hospital around 2.25pm.  Got seen in X-ray at 2.50pm.  Got back home by 3.10pm (I got a taxi).

I now have to wait until tomorrow morning to see what my results are.  The doctor thinks that my lung lining is inflamed which is why when I breath in it hurts.  It's getting squashed against my rib cage, so I have to keep talking painkillers.  Can I have a break now? I keep trying to find positive things that happen but I just can't seam to do it.
