Health Update, 01/08/2007
I'm at work. My back hurts, but I can walk and move; call it about 85% functionality.
Teri was worried that I was getting hooked on Vicodin (although she didn't have anything to base that fear on), so I haven't taken any since yesterday afternoon. Apart from a desperate urge to shoot up lots of heroin, I feel fine.
No, seriously, I've noticed no effect from going off Vicodin. I'm also lowering my ibuprofen dose, from 800 to 600mg; we'll see how that works. As it stands, I haven't had any painkillers this morning, and while I'm not totally comfortable, I'm managing.
Still, I'm not going to accept living at 85% functionality forever. Note to self: If I'm not completely fine by Friday, I'm calling my doctor on Monday.
Something else: either I have bronchitis again, or I have it still. My lungs continue to crackle and wheeze when I breathe, so loudly that at night it's actually distracting. I sound like a goddamned bowl of Rice Krispies. Needless to say, I'm still coughing up nasty olive-green stuff (sorry).
I just checked my journal, and see that I had bronchitis on December 4th - and took antibiotics for it at the time. Seems to me that I should probably call my doctor again about this.
