An inconvenient sickness

richlevy · 05-21-2008, 06:41 PM

So after months and months working on the same project, I get a break and get sent to a 4 day SQL Server class this week. My vacation is also imminent.

Last week I started sneezing and coughing. It began as an occasional tickle in my throat. Yesterday I went to my first class and by the end of the day I was making this ugly wet noise when I breathed hard.

Fortunately, my doctor had evening hours last night. Her diagnosis - it's either bronchitis or walking pneumonia. She said the treatment was the same for both so she didn't see any reason to send me for an x-ray.

So I'm still going to class, along with an inhaler, acetaminophen, sugar free candy, etc. At night I'm taking antibiotics and chicken soup (lots of leftover matzoh ball mixes from Passover).

Every stinking germ had better be dead before I board the plane for Vegas.
