Well, I finally went to the doctor yesterday as I have been unable to shake this stuff, and the cough decided to migrate down from my throat towards my lungs. He gave me a quick once over and decided....((drum roll))...

BRONCHITIS

**crickets chirping**

Yeah, I know. No big surprise there. I'm pretty sure the world will tilt off its axis if I don't have bronchitis at least once a year. On the plus side, at least this time I didn't end up in the emergency room! The problem with being able to focus intensely and shut everything out? You really do shut EVERYTHING out. If I'm in the middle of something, I'll pop the pills and ignore the whole thing until I'm done. Unfortunately, that's landed me in the emergency room twice with this stuff and the doctor giving me hell about being a day or so away from pneumonia. Fun thought.

Anyway, I got a shot, a Z-Pac, and cough syrup to let me sleep. Hopefully this stuff'll be gone soon. I'm really tired of hacking.
