So I’ve had an interesting month and I apologize that I’ve neglected the blog. As my last blog entry starts to mention a couple weeks back. Lisa, Sally and I took a 5 day road trip to Pennsylvania. I had a whole blog entry describing out trip typed out and ready to post but never had a chance because I’ve been very sick the last few weeks.
You see the Friday before we left for pen I caught some kind of cold, I spent most of our trip coughing up a lung. When we returned home that Friday Lisa insisted I see a doctor but I refused because I felt I was getting better. The rest of that week I spent most of my time after work coming home downing mass quantities of cough medicine and struggling to get what I felt was precious needed sleep. Another week went by and even my co-workers started coming to me insisting I have my serious sounding cough checked out. It finally took 2 hours of chronic coughing that was so violent it scared me, I couldn’t stop coughing long enough to catch my breath.
I was in the doctor’s office the very next day, While I don’t recall quite what the doctor called my condition it was something about "sever upper respitory congestion combined with bronchial spasms” She also said it was possible that my delay in treatment could have caused a buildup of fluid in my lungs. I was prescribed several medications and sent home from work for several days, I have been medicated now for about a week. I still have a small cough but I feel much better then I did a week ago.
Regrettably when you’re struggling to breathe blogging isn’t the first thing on your mind. I’m sorry if I left people hanging and wondering if we were all still in Pennsylvania.
We are all home now and looking forward to seeing our families, loved ones, and friends over the next few holiday weeks... Merry Christmas to All!
