Incompetent urgent care

Against my better judgment, last Wednesday I went to our local urgent care (I was too sick to travel an hour away) and was told I was negative for flu and covid. Had Bronchitis.
Kept feeling worse, had an absolute horrible night last night. I couldn't stop coughing, couldn't breathe, really wondered if I might die.
First thing this morning Dale took me to an ER. Well, I do have the flu. Got several kinds of meds, so I'm praying I'll improve.
It's the grace of God Dale hasn't caught it.
That urgent care place should be put out of business. It's not the first time of trouble with them. But it will be the last.
But some good news: we're having our Christmas Eve dinner at our son Robert's house. We'll still open gifts here Christmas morning. Even though they would have helped, it's such a relief.
Hope your December is off to a better start than mine!

That's terrible they couldn't get a simple thing like that right. Glad you finally got the right diagnosis. Christmas sounds good

Thanks, Snowy. It's bad to misdiagnose the flu. I could have gotten on Tamiflu.

That's not a good start at all. I hope the rest of December will be much better.
