Still Sick
I’ve been sick for almost two weeks now. Normally, when I get sick, I’m sick and then it passes. This has lingered for way too long.
Last Wednesday, I called my doctor’s office, and he called in a prescription for some cough syrup with codine. That helped a little, but I’m still not feeling quite right. I’m still congested and coughing like mad. This is August for crying out loud! So today, I called back, and the nurse wanted me to see a doctor. She got me in to see a different doctor (since mine is scheduled through Thursday) who said my lungs sound clear and that I almost sound like I have athsma. I don’t think so. She gave me a prescription for some antibiotics and Claratin.
I’ll give it a few days before I call my doctor’s office again. This cold/flu/cough thing has cost me a hundred bucks so far. I just want it to be over.
Oh, and there was all kinds of drama in the waiting room. But that’s another story for another day.
Oooh, hope you feel better. Then you can post the waiting room drama. Love drama! How is Reggie doing?

I knew where the center of the discomfort was in my body and told the doctor I thought it was pneumonia located in the bottom of the left lung. They checked, it was, and I was on my way to feeling a great deal beter very soon.
Best of luck, and get well.
