Make the suffering stop…
I am sick and tired of being sick. I have not been well for over 3 weeks. I’ve been hiding inside my house most of the time. I have had very bad bronchitis for that entire time following a cold I cought at Christmas. Late last week I also caught the flu on top of it. My temp topped 102-103 for all of Thursday. I stayed in bed for 5 straight days and limped into work yesterday finally. The docs are mystified. I’ve been given/told to take albuterol inhalers, anti-biotics, prednisone steroids, Advair(that crap costs $150 btw), and plain old Robitussin. Nothing eleviates the wheezing and constant tired. Walking 100 yards from my car into work tires me out. All I want to do is find a nice cozy bed or couch and sleep.
On sunday my wife almost called 911 when I passed out laughing. I could not breathe because I was laughing so hard. It scared the hell out of me. I can only imagine what she thought. We were standing in the kitchen talking about how in high school I could take a rolled towel in the locker room and draw blood with it. Guys were scared of me. Well, I decided to demonstrate to her and picked a target. That banana looked like it’d do. I wound up a kitchen rag and let fly the hand towel of war. The banana exploded. Literally. There was banana on the counter, on the cabinets, the ceiling, the microwave, me, her. Everywhere. I started laughing so hard I fell down and passed out.
I’m visiting the doc again tomorrow so he can see my progress, or lack thereof. The weather outside is beautiful. I’ve got two cars in my driveway that need to be repaired and all I want to do in my free time is hide in my HEPA filtered/75% humidity bedroom.
