Health Update One Million

...or it feels like it, anyway.

I went for the bronchitis, although my back is hurting more than it had for the past couple of days (perhaps because I stopped taking Vicodin and cut way down on ibuprofen). I didn't get to see my regular doctor, but the replacement, Dr. Lawrence, was really good. She listened to my chest, sent me down for a chest x-ray just in case I had walking pneumonia (apparently it has been going around), and when the films came back clear, she prescribed a five-day antibiotic: azithromycin. She told me that if the cough and congestion haven't gone within ten days, I should come back for more treatment with a different type of antibiotic.

She also gave me a prescription for Guiatuss AC, a cough medicine with codeine. I'm not to take it with the Vicodin (which I'm not going to take in any case, unless I find myself immobilized again). I'll be taking it at night, I guess.

What a boring entry. I should probably make it private.
