Bronchitis Begone!
It’s been three weeks….and it’s still here! I left work a couple hours early on Friday because I felt like crap. I had another doctors appointment on Saturday. I had a chest x-ray taken because the wheezing was still pretty bad (so much fun being shuffled about a strange office, topless, except for a little sheet with a hole for your head). Luckily, there was no phemonia. The doctor told me that what I had would, on it’s own, go away in 6-8 weeks. He gave me a prescription for an oral cortisone pill to reduce the swelling of the bronchial tubes, another inhaler (to use 4 times a day), and more presription cough syrup to make it all go away more quickly. blech. I feel better already, still wheezing and coughing, ribs hurt from coughing. Missed going home to Prov. for a party I had promised Marina I’d go to (in my absence, she manages to get some guys email for me-thanks for thinking of me!). Instead, I spent all yesterday laying around and watching tv. Not sure if I’m going to work tomorrow. I have the sick days, but I hate taking them. I miss life without wheezing, this sucks ass.
Complain, complain. soon it’ll be over.
