And the Diagnosis is...

Bronchitis. I have bronchitis. I made an appointment today; actually, one for myself and one for Kellen. Kellen just has a head cold. So between co-pays for the two of us and the medication prescription that I filled for myself, it was a $120 day. Ouch. So the next couple of days I wil be taking a steroid to help dry out my lungs and a narcotic cough syrup that will help control my cough and allow me to sleep through the night, which I haven't done the last couple of nights. The good news is that it should be enough to get me back on my feet in time for next term starting on Monday. I wasn't entirely certain that I wanted to go to the doctor for it, but Steve decided we should err on the side of caution since bronchitis can have similar symptoms to, or develop into, pnuemonia; a particularly bad thing, we're thinking. So I have a couple more days to recoup, and that will hopefully be enough.
