And apparently my body will take care of it eventually--time frame not made clear. Meanwhile, my body reacts to it as a foreign body with flu-like symptoms. I have oxygen, breathing gadgets, oximeter, all kinds of widgets and a nurse on call, but it seems mainly a matter of taking Tylenol, keeping up on my breathing, and waiting it out. A problem I'm running into now is that because I'm a bit feverish, I'm also a bit nauseous--I need to check with the nurse in the morning about something for that.
