Turns out that since its in the same spot of the body, my lungs were spasming from the pleurisy and it affected my body the same way a heart attack would. Don't let it get that far

It's gotten quite a bit better today, no more blood, but of course I haven't had a cig since yesterday morning. I want to ------- kill someone, but that's besides the point. I'm hoping to wait it out until Monday, that way I can take a sick day off from work, go see the doc, and still get paid for it.
