bronchitis

“You have an impressive cough.”  That’s what the doctor said to me today.  How nice!  Basically, she’s treating me for bronchitis.  I’m taking a rather expensive antibiotic, but I get to avoid the ones that cause severe stomach cramping.  I’m also taking an inhaler, eucalyptus syrup, and maximum doses of mucinex.  What’s scary is that I’m still feeling even better than Carrie!  So hopefully we’ll be able to beat this sickness into submission soon.

I’ve discovered I can tell when my body temp is only a degree warmer than normal.  When my eyelids feel warm, I take my temperature and it’s consistenly one degree warmer than normal.  Thankfully I haven’t had any higher fever than that, but it’s at least interesting to learn that correlation.

I finally got a tiny bit of sleep last night while sitting up in bed.  I also got a bit in short bursts this morning.  But it doesn’t add up to much when you sleep for a few minutes at a time.

It’s time to go lay down.  I have to teach in the morning, and any sleep I can get will be helpful.
