So I went to my regular doctor on Friday for my annual wellness check. He heard my cough and during my visit there the term bronchitis was said. He was adamant to prescribe me anything new since I had only taken 2 days worth of antibiotics. He said to call, even on the weekend if things went downhill. I have gotten better, but I am not 100% The congested cough is gone but I am still coughing. I still feel it lingering on for a bit longer.
Last night was just about as productive for sleep as the previous nights. Nada. One good take-away was that one of the many times I sat up coughing, I saw a Red Fox out front running around. I watched it until it disappeared in the night. That made me feel a bit better. This morning I was up early, of course. but after a couple of hours I was feeling extremely tired. So I dove in bed, my cat in tow and actually slept for like 2 hours. I got up and had some lunch and shortly after jumped back in bed for another couple of hours. I am still so tired but I will take it when I can get it. Tomorrow, my annual appointment with my doctor. Definitely going to get more meds.
I ended up waking up off and on last night with coughing fits so I decided I would get up and call my docs office in the morning. I was trying to not go that route since I do have an appointment for my yearly wellness check on Friday. But shit happens. I called several times from 8-8:15 with no one answering and it going to the emergency message like they are closed. So I call the clinic and hubby's work and get an appointment for 11:15. I have a upper/lower respiratory tract infection. Yipeee! So I got some antibiotics. I hope this clears up quick.

Mine lasted for about 10 days. The coughing was horrible.
Ugh! Well I am on day 6 of this mess. I will be begging for some codeine cough medicine tomorrow so I can get some sleep. My appointment is at 8:30 am so I will look like a tired train wreck...lol
Mogy :P
Yes get the codeine cough medicine for sure. At night was when it was the worse, when I would lay down. I start to cough so much a few nights I had to sleep in chair. The codeine helps suppress the cough some what and yelps to cough up the yuck.
yelps=helps
LOL! I got it. That is what I am having a hard time with. Cannot get the phlegm to come up. I luck out once in awhile.
It's not quite 8:00 pm and I am feeling wiped out from this cold I am fighting. It started in on me on Saturday when I was up north visiting family. We went up on Friday and chilled with my parents and friends, then Saturday headed to my in-laws and we were suppose to stay the night. We ended up leaving after dinner. I am glad we did. Yesterday I felt like shit. Did a lot of nothing. Today I am feeling a bit more myself. Hopefully tomorrow there is progression. How's your holiday coming along?
