cyranoMom update:
The doctor says, after a few hours, that he thinks maybe she has pleurisy. Which I recall being one of those diseases that people in Regency romances get, like consumption or gout or catarrh. Anyway. They're going to keep her under observation and give her antibiotics. If she responds, they will decide that their diagnosis was successful.
What concerns me is that most of what I've read on the topic says "Pleurisy is only as serious as the underlying condition." And we don't know what the underlying condition is. Maybe there isn't one.
Anyway. I'm supposed to work two days out of the next six, and I managed to arrange to not have to work them in case the situation takes a turn for the worse and I suddenly decide to go to Lewisville. (I know, REM says don't go back to Lewisville.) Getting there in the next couple of days should be easy, flying stand by. Getting back, before say Monday or Tuesday, will be a real bitch.
