Breathing is hard

[geminigirl]

Triage nurse agrees with me that it's probably bronchitis, (that green stuff is a clue) but the earliest they can get me in is 11 PM tonight, unless breathing gets more difficult. I'll probably end up with a script for antibiotics, maybe a nebulizer treatment depending on oxygen saturation and peak flow tonight when I go in, and if I'm lucky a good strong cough medication to let me sleep through the night.

I think maybe a nap before I go out tonight though.

I thought mine was chesty till it turned out it was sinusy. And like a classic plotline, once the TRUE (not suspected) bad guy is reveiled, he comes out swing full force. Evil nose, and its evil sidekick post nasal drip (bad sick day for me too :/) .

Get a few days worth on antibiotics in yah, and in hang in there in meantime.

This is pretty classic bronchitis for me; it's a blessing of asthma or something. I used to get it yearly (at least) when I was in college. I don't actually feel like going out and doing what I have planned tonight, but I'll do it at least until I start feeling too icky to do it.

This seems the year for respiratory illnesses. *hugs* hang in there.

Doesn't it though? My boss (and her two kids have been sick for a month), your two, and I haven't had bronchitis in years-since I moved out of dorms when I was 22. Ah well, I'll get a nebulizer treatment tonight maybe, and some good antibiotics, and feel better in a few days.


And fortunately, there's plenty of time off at this time of year.

no arguements here

You seem to prefer driving yourself, but a ride is available if you want it. Call me at (703) 548-2414 if I'm not on AIM and you want a lift. An hours notice would be appreciated.

Thanks Max. If I'd been going from home, I'd have taken you up on the offer, but we were at the DaVinci's Notebook show at the Birchmere, so I went straight over from there.

But I might keep that in mind next time I end up sick like this.

Thank you for being so kind the last few days when I've been feeling pretty rotten. I appreciate it, even if I keep declining your very thoughtful offers.

Actually, the Birchmere would have been even easier for me as I haven't moved yet.

You're more than welcome. The offer remains open, but I'd prefer you didn't get sick again. ;)

*hugs* I'm sorry you've been sick! :-(

[geminigirl]

Apparently you have too. At least I got to be sick and miserable alone, instead of having to be pleasant and social among people

Let's hope we both feel better on Wednesday.
