TGIF And How!

I am so ready for the weekend. Still sick, trip #3 to the doctor yesterday afternoon at the request of my co-workers who are tired of listening to me hacking up my lungs all day so have all been nagging me incessantly to GO BACK TO THE DOCTOR YOU CRAZY WOMAN BEFORE YOU END UP IN THE HOSPITAL. Doctor #3 looks at my chart & declares he's going to beat me.

If you think that'll help doc, go for it I said. I'm tired of coughing.

He meant b/c I smoke but didn't lecture me too much, gave me antibiotic #3 and a steroid inhaler...or as I like to call it, The Breathe-anatortm. If not markedly improved in 3 days, come back.

I noticed after I got home his name was Shane. If I go back, boy am I going to have fun with that.

One of my employees just missed two and a half weeks of work with pneumonia ... be careful :)

This seems to be making the rounds up here, but the others who've had it are better after a couple of weeks. Me, not so much....though I am coughing less today & breathing better.

I'm being careful, sorta. The doctors have been trying to convince me to take some time off work, but we're just too busy for that.

Sorry that you are still sick and hope the antibiotics and inhaler help out!

I hope so too. The inhaler has helped some. I don't think there's still an infection, just lung irritation from being so sick. I'd probably be over it by now if I had just taken off work for a couple of days like they recommended.

I've been hacking and gagging myself lately, but mostly because I've been car shopping and the price tags are killing me

No kidding. I've been truck shopping myself lately. Think I'll wait until the construction market tanks a little more....and the '08 models come out.
