Ok...so my coughing has gotten progressively worse. I was going to go to an urgent care tonight, but they’re closed. So I came to the emergency room. I’m scared, I don’t want this cold or flu to get any worse. They’re going to run some tests, chest x-ray, not sure what else. I feel horrible, physically and emotionally I’m scared right now. I hope a bed opens up soon and I can get these tests done. I am not going to smoke. Breathing is way more important to me right now. My health is more important to me. It’s the most important thing. I just need to find out what is going on. I’m in one of the best hospitals in the world, Cedars-Sinai here in LA. Being here is bringing back a lot of painful memories. My partner died in this hospital 5 years ago. There are a million people in this waiting room. I’m probably going to be here all night. Anyway I just wanted to reach out. Hugs for now, Mark
