BRONCHITIS

That is what I have. I am very sick. I took Katharine to get her hair cut and was almost certain I would be headed for the ER after. I got my inhalers and I think I am actually a little bit better. If I still feel like shit tomorrow, I will go to the ER and have a respiratory treatment. See how sick I am? This made no sense. I am very sick, although I took Katharine to get her hair cut. Then I was going to the ER and didn't. Then as if I actually admit to feeling a bit better, although in the first sentence I was very sick. Then if I still feel like shit tomorrow, I will go to the ER. I realize this makes no sense to a non medicated person. Sorry.

Oh well, face it, I am sick and my hairdresser told me even my eyes look sick. That only seems fair to me. If I am sick, my eyes are entitled as well, are they not?

Actually, I have been ill for days, Zoe and David had it, Katharine got it on Sunday. We all want to feel better. I guess it will just take some time.

Hope you are all well and staying healthy!

UPDATE

I am feeling a little bit better today. I called my doctor to get the inhalers yesterday. She told me if I didn't feel better or if I got worse, that I had to go see her. I agreed to that. I am going to see her next month for my yearly physical anyhow. I really wanted to avoid another visit. I am very aware of how I am feeling and I can tell I am better. I can breathe a whole lot better. I will keep on top of things though and call my doctor if I don't feel even better by tomorrow.

Feel. Consistently. Better.

I get this once a year. I used to think it would go away on its own without antibiotics. It never does.

Azithromycin is what works for me.
I usually get the Zithromax Z-pack.

We went from 85 degree days to cold and rainy very quickly, which never helps when you are sick.

See your doctor and get well soon!

I'm with sweet Blogzie, the Z-pack is my favorite when I get to that point!

Please go see somebody, if it's not the ER, then perhaps there's a clinic at the mall like there are here, or???

Need you to get better...soon!

Don't play around with this, go to the doctor!!! I do the z-pack thing too, but usually with the prednisone pack too. It helps, trust me! Feel better soon!

Just Jan said...

you aren't one of those stubborn people that refuse to go to the doctor unless your unconscious are you????.....huh...huh??

Seriously, Nancy...even if you feel better you should go get looked at. Bronchitis is not something to try to ignore. I hope you feel better soon and that no one else in your family gets it.
