Cough, Hack, Cough

I'm sick, internetz. I've always been quite susceptible to bronchitis and after 3 years of not having it I sure was hoping to never have to deal with it again. A girl can dream, can't she? Unfortunately, I do believe that is what is progressing at this very moment in my chest. As quickly as this came on, it's going to be a doozy.

Nobody likes being sick. But the two things I hate more than anything are vomiting and coughing. I can deal with stuffy and runny noses, stomach aches, diarrhea, fever, headaches... I'll take any and all of those at once if I could just get rid of the coughing.

I got to work last night and feared I'd have to go home. But the nice guys working next door at our ambulance service came over with a nebulizer and for most of my shift I felt much better. Unfortunately, that stuff wears off and I'm back where I was when I went in last night. And as much as I have developed a fear of them, I'm going to have to call the doctor today because if I put it off, my painful bronchitis will turn into a nice excruciating bout of pneumonia and I just had a friend die from pneumonia and I kinda like the whole heart beating, breathing (no matter how difficult), feeling, talkinglaughingsmiling... living... thing.

So forgive my absence while I go be sick for a couple of days. And forgive the silent kitty cam because I'm not going have the sound on while I'm 2 feet away coughing up my lungs. That would make for some bad watching... in my opinion.

Have a great Monday readers! And remember this:
