oh, the sputum

so much for wishing for a sickness...when i wrote that, i had a persistent cough. it's turned into a hacking, phlegmy cough and my voice is not unlike a voice of a man, or at least a teenage boy. but this morning i started to have a sharp pain in my chest to accompany my chorus of barking. the pain has since gone away, but if it returns i will go to the doctor.

i went online to do a little self-diagnosis. so according to my research, i either have pneumonia or a pulmonary embolism. just call me dr. miko.
