Update on my bronchitis condition. [View all]

Got two new prescriptions from the doc, plus an inhaler to improve my lung capacity. I've had this for a week. Had a chest xray and fortunately no sign of pneumonia. Hubby is getting better with the bronchitis he got from me.

Talked to my son today and he told me he was out sick from work for a week last year when he had it.

I noted that at the clinic where I went there was a waiting room full of coughing people. One guy had a surgical mask on, which was probably a good idea.

Our friend and neighbor is running errands and doing food shopping for us so we aren't stranded.

I found out that if I could just get out of the damn bed and take a shower I would prolly feel better. It works to get vertiical and not let all that phlegm pool in your chest.

We have some very scary news on TV about people dying from this new strain of flu but we had our flu shots earlier and are hoping for the best.

How are things with other DUers? Anyone else sick as a dog from this stuff?
