Bronchitis the Musical

The adventures in Las Vegas continue as I spent the night in the Summerlin Hospital Emergency Room Resort and Casino.  As I noted on my FB page, there are no slot machines in this place.  This is not like the Heart Attack Grill which I blogged about earlier.  This is the actual ER.  Went there because I'm sick.  

Yes, Sin City has made me sick.  As we walked into the ER at 11 PM, the only signs we could see were PEDS, Pediatrics, and colorful pictures along with crying infants in the waiting room.  I glared at hubby and said, "Did you bring me to a CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL????"   But after speaking with the triage nurse, she assured me this was an adult hospital.  She also looked a little relieved that they had a grown up to work on.  But I still felt funny having to tell her my weight wasn't a childsize 13.2 pounds.

Long story short, 5.5 hours later they said I have bronchitis.  They gave me meds and more meds to take home with instructions to rest (I'm in VEGAS, are you kidding me??) and to take my temp and get back there immediately if I have a temp. 

Dutifully this morning, I took my temp with my newest Vegas souvenir (a Vegas Walgreen's thermometer) and announced to hubby that something is wrong with this digital temperature taker because it says L.L6.   What is THAT error code???  He laughed and reminded me that I was blond, left-handed, Polish and had the thermometer upside down.  By the way, I feel better already.
