Mmmmm, Bronchitis

Monday, July 14, 2008 at 03:33pm

So I went to the doctor…yes, I have bronchitis. At least it’s not pneumonia. Of the two weeks I’ve been sick, today is the worst day. My entire torso hurts from coughing and my chest aches when I breathe. I’m hacking up unrecognizable things from my lungs, and I’m operating on a level of exhaustion so severe that I probably shouldn’t have been driving today. But tonight I start on antibiotics and magical cough syrup that will put me into a medically-induced coma. I can’t wait.

    I’m so glad you’re getting that taken care of. Bronchitis is not to be trifled with. Enjoy your meds!

    Oh, and the doctor told me to stop exercising. I guess that hour on the treadmill Saturday that left me red-faced and gasping for air like a fish wasn’t the best idea.

    If you need me, I’ll be on the couch watching “What I Like About You.”

    Blech. The cough syrup is always fun, but still. Get well soon.

    I had sinusitus last month. Jennie and Amanda worked even better than the codeine cough medicine!! : )

    I sympathize. Mrs Gato is prone to bronchitis, and had a long bout earlier this year. But it’s gone, and I hope yours goes away quickly. Feel better soon.

    Ugh! be prepared to be tired for a while. I had bronchitis earlier this year. So not cool, but I did get to spend a lot of quality time with my kitties

    Hope you did get that coma-sleep last night. And hope the meds do their thing soon.

    Thanks for all your good wishes, peeps!

    The cough medicine did help w/the coughing, but I still slept like crap. Sad face.
