- Good – Spending the better part of Monday afternoon in a cubicle and conference room with a colleague working to diagnose and correct an issue with his systems.
- Bad – Said colleague calls in sick on Tuesday with strep throat
- Good – Getting effective treatment for your arthritis so that you can be a contributing member of society
- Bad – Said treatment suppresses your immune system so that it doesn’t attack your body, so you’re more susceptible to infection from co-workers with strep throat.
- Good – Going to bed Tuesday night feeling well
- Bad – Waking up Wednesday morning with just about everything wrong with your respiratory system except pneumonia.
- Not sure why I bother to have a primary physician anymore. I haven’t been able to get in to see her when I’m sick for several months. She’s wonderful for preventive things like physicals, but when I need her to help me get over the ick, there’s a two day wait.
- The doc in the box, on the other hand, got me in and out in 30 minutes.
- “Go to bed and rest” he says. “You’ll feel better after some sleep” he says.
- Irish Woman worked from home today, and her schedule was full of conference calls that require her to be on her computer in the bedroom all afternoon.
- Sleeping on the couch was out because the new gutters were being installed, and the gutter guys were playing whack-a-mole with the old gutters.
- Bluegrass was losing her mind trying to get through the front door to stomp a mudhole in someone.
- I guess I’ll sleep when I’m dead.
- NyQuil – For when moonshine just isn’t letting you breathe through your nose and sleep.
- Girlie Bear has her first air rifle competition. To say she’s excited might be a bit of an understatement.
- Is it “feed a cold and starve a fever”, or is it “drown both in corn liquor and spicy food”?
- ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

/ October 11, 2012Misread that one: drown both in corn liquor and spicy food… I was going to drown the broth, which also makes sense to me. I hate broth.
I changed docs recently to a large practice (since my PCP retired about five years ago), and their police is, “If you’re sick and need an appointment today, someone will see you. You may wait a while, and it probably won’t be your regular doctor, but we will get you in.” I can live with that.
Feel better!

/ October 11, 2012My primary care doc’s office has a walk-in clinic attached to it. It’s a wonderful thing. I can get in there if I can’t just get an appointment, and all of my records are there. It’s a handy thing.
Hope you feel better soon. Respiratory crap is no fun.
I prescribe two cookies.
