Okay, no surprise, I guess...

And the answer to the question of life,the universe and everything is: bronchitus. Woo. I shoulda guessed, but I really thought it was just the flu. *shrugs* Anyway, actually encountered a decent dr (cool Russian or slavic accent) at the minor medical place, and she actually gave me advice in addition to the meds (antibiotic, thing for the cough--they look like little clear yellow beads, pretty! ^^ , and a bronchodilator pill).

I always thought you were supposed to do orange juice and citrus stuff during a cold--but she said absolutely no citrus, as it burns the throat. And avoid cold liquids--do hot liquids like green tea with just a bit of lemon and honey, chicken soup (not just an old wives tale, I guess), etc. So I learned something. :)

And she told me to rest--like I wasn't doing so already! But I'm trying. Sounds like a good idea right now, actually. A really good idea.

Bronchitis? ;^_^ I had it once - and I know I never want to have that again! Yikes.

I hope you feel better soon, sweetie!

Thanks, hon. :) I'm still working on it. Am trying another half-day at work after missing yesterday, and will do a half tomorrow too, if I need. (As it is, my supervisor's nagging at me to take the full day off, but I dunno if I need that much...plus, I'm getting *really* tired of home).

Hope things are going well where you're at! *hugs*
