Uh-Oh, Viral Cold and Cough

Well,  as they said at my doctor's office this afternoon, "there is something going around, we have had illness in the offices here"== 

And, for the first time in my life I was asked to wear a surgical mask ( to protect other people there, not me).

As usual, this bronchitis like thing I have, while it is making me miserable, doesn't seem like life or death and as usual they have prescribed a combination of over the counter and prescription pills for me and given me directions, etc. etc.

The pharmacy told me when I got there they didn't have the prescription drug and didn't know when they would and were going to call the doctor'so office.

So I took the over the counter stuff ( just Robitussin cough and cold) and knocked down some pain killers with some V-8 juice.

The last time I saw another doctor who told me to drink "lots and lots of water" but was told this time to drink SOME warter but not a lot. Go figure.

I am going to call the doctor tomorrow morning and see about the prescription thing ( all I want to do now is stay in bed with my cough pretty much quiescent and strange chill and aches etc as usual)

Oh yeah, I have been to two aerobic exercise classes in the last four days and was told to knock that off for a week.

They also gave me masks to wear ( I may see another specialist tomorrow or I may cancel , if I feel well enough to go I will wear the mask, and I wonder what effect that will have on them).

I have other complications with my ears that are separate and that I don't want to get into but I am angry with the doctor who cleaned out my ears last week-- when they checked my ears today they said there was still a lot of wax in them ( this is the first time I have seen the new ear doctor and I didn't like the way he rushed me through...well., there is more but I said I was not gettiing into that).

So, pardon me if it is back to the "sick bed" ( maybe the "curing bed" I hope) and listen to music and meditate.

If I posted stories in my present mood all of them would be very negative, because I feel like you know what.

So no blog tonight/  Stay well and stay safe, everybody
