Still sick, but getting better

I haven't blogged in awhile, partly because I've been pretty much working, coming home, eating dinner, and then going to sleep. I missed two days of work due to my cold, one righ after my last post and one this week. I finally went to the Little Clinic at Kroger Saturday (a friend I work with made me promise). The cold is mostly gone but I'm coughing and having asthma issues. I have bronchitis, and was prescribed albuterol through my nebuliser every 6 hours, with the hopes of doing better with that. She said if I didn't feel better in a couple of weeks I should follow up with my primary care provider and have an x-ray of my lungs to make sure I don't have pneumonia, but that my lungs sounded fine, it was just hard to breathe deeply without coughing. And I'm not coughing anything up; it's a dry cough. My associated sinus infection is doing much better (I've gone from green gunk to mostly clear), but she said she could give me Augmenten if needed. It's got amoxicillin in it, and that concerned me, as I am allergic to penicillin and clindamycin, so I decided to hold off since it seems better. Mainly my nose goes a lot despite Claritin. Here's hoping everything improves. I hate spring colds, as they're always worse for me.

It was a slow day

We'd cancelled the game for other reasons, but it's good that we did. The weather's messed with my fibromyalgia, so everything from neck muscles down to the soles of my feet hurt, and I have what I think is a light cold I seem to have caught from a friend, so I've slept so much today and could sleep all night, too, I'm sure. I did about half of my chores, the ones that were most important, and went and got something from Captain D's (and actually got fried fish; we'll find out if my gall bladder will react badly--it's been almost a year since I was brave enough to eat it, but I was craving it). We watched an episode of 'Sister Boniface's Mysteries (an excellent show, a spinoff of 'Father Brown' but with a character that was not in the GK Chesterton stories.) I've listened to the new album by Ed Sheeran, - (Subtract), which came from came from Amazon yesterday. Because of the cold, I couldn't sing along with the car radio. I did test for Covid, but it's negative. My sore throat started Friday night, and it would be just my luck to finally catch it on the day the WHO said it was no longer a pandemic emergency. But no, it seems to be just a normal cold. That's about it. But some days it's good to have a slow day. And our coming week has high clinic numbers, so it's good to get some rest now.
