The Illness Saga
I woke up today and I felt… different. Not great, but a little better. My chest is still congested, and I still sound like that girl from The Exorcist when I exhale strongly, but it feels a little better. A little less congested.
I went to the Dr. on Friday. I was a little disappointed. It’s obvious that I’ve got an infection of some sort (I’ve been through this kind of thing enough to know), but the Dr. was convinced that it was just asthma. Last I checked, while congestion aggravates asthma, congestion is not asthma. Especially when that congestion manifests itself as brown or yellowish-green mucus being hacked up after a solid minute of coughing. But I digress.
He basically gave me Advair, with instructions to double up the doses for a few days. It takes a few days for it to really take effect, though.

I’m so glad you’re feeling even a little better. Hopefully work won’t be quite so rough on you this week and you’ll actually get a chance to heal. Miss you, can’t wait to buy you a recovery drink (why does that sound wrong? Like an AA backpedaling- oh well). Feel better soon!
