shoulda listened to the doctor...

i woke up today unable to speak - how awesome is that? i also only slept three hours because stupid alka-seltzer plus night cold only lasts about 4 hours. maybe my body is just really resistant to sedatives now, who knows.

so i emailed my teachers to let them know there's no way in hell i could drag myself in(they've all gotta think i'm making this shit up - flu one week, docs appointments another, wikkid cold this week... wtf?!) and to see if i can make up whatever we do in classes today.

so after some water and a couple sprays of chloroseptic i have a hoarse 50-year-old lounge singer voice. awesome :P. and i still have to work goddamnit.

oh, and my next back thinger is on nov 5. i have to get an IV and a CT scan and all kinds of other abbreviated things. i'm not pleased.

can i just stop being sick/injured already? i'm so tired of all of this.

it sounds like whats going on down here in J-ville. we've seen a bit of bronchitis lately, and i wonder if it going around a bit.

i'd see if you can score some Tesalon pearls if the cough starts to hurt your lungs/chest. Ask for this if your doc trusts you;

Deconsol (Sudafed/guafenisin) pills PO BID x 10 days #20 R #0.

That'll help you dry up which will help the throat with less exudate, then it'll make you cough more as the guafenisin breaks up the nastiness in your lungs. if you get this med, you'll want to up your water/ gatorade intake...it'll dry you out.

if its viral all you can do is treat symptomatically... :( but then again, we're 700 miles away and im just going off of your Symptoms. but im that good heheh.

feel better!

day 5: i seem to be doing better finally. i'm really stuffy and my throat itches but that's about it. i haven't tried talking yet so i don't know if i have a voice or not. perhaps i'll go chase the kitties around: "kittykittykittykittykittykittymeowwww!"

they always look so confused...
