Gunk

So, here's my life in a nutshell:

Sept. 1st: Sick (sore throat, runny nose, etc.). Treated by the doctor for sinus problems with an antiobiotic. No problem, should get better in a couple days...

Sept. 4th: No improvement, actually worse. Another trip to the doctor and another co-pay. Thank goodness for my wonderful medical insurance. Continue with antibiotics, add steroid for seven (7) days. No problem, should be better after the weekend...

Sept. 9th: It's bad, people. Can't breathe, lungs are full of "stuff" that refuses to come up, and I'm a swollen "hot mess" from the steroids. What to do? Head back to my favorite doctor and deliver another wonderful co-pay (thank goodness we have met our deductible for the year). One breathing treatment and two (2) x-rays later, the conclusion is no pneumonia, good. But what the heck is this that ails me so?? Acute Bronchitis they say....oh yea, can you please fix me or put me out of my misery??? No problem, just take this top of the line antibiotic (which by the way would cost $400 if I didn't have a prescription card).

I'm now on a medication called Levaquin. Yes, that's right, it is the medication used to treat Anthrax. In addition to the above, I am on another round of steroids and an inhaler...let the fun times begin. Food tastes exotic, so yummy and I can't get enough of it. My face has already puffed up and I can't stop eating like a fifth grader.

When I get sick, I don't hold back. Bring it, I'm ready for the next round. I'm ready for Anthrax if it comes my way.

Hope everyone is happy, healthy and enjoying life!
