*Cough*

I'm still sick, one week later. I slept in the den last night because the reclined position of the couch was more upright, and helped with my breathing.

I'm home from work today and heading to the doctor shortly - methinks I have bronchitis or something, because this sure aint viral.

As a result, I'm not dancing AGAIN today, but at least I can go up and watch. Once I have some meds, I won't be so worried about being contagious. I'm also not sure what this will mean for Xmortis on Friday. Damn!

And the verdict is

That I just have a *bad* virus. It makes sense thinking about it I guess, given that I haven't been consistently feverish or coughing, they ruled out bronchitis.

I was sent away with a script for a new inhaler ("just in case") and instructions to buy all of CVS. I took some sudafed to try and fend off the postnasal drip, some expectorant to try and free up the stuff in my chest, and some vicks vaporub for if I get really desperate trying to sleep at night. The NP told me that she just got over something similar, and it took her 4 weeks to get it out of her system. Fun.

So I think there won't be any Xmortis for me after all. Damn.
