But I don't "do sick" very well. Yesterday, I finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with some "weird strain of bronchitis", and I have been forbidden by the PA to leave my house until Tuesday. She is concerned that it might develop into pneumonia. So now I am the proud user of an inhaler and some intense black market cough medicine. Sadly, the cough medicine hasn't done squat and I've sent Sumter out for some industrial strength Mucinex.
Earlier today, I posted on Facebook:
So I am here. At home. Inside. On a beautiful day.
Thinking about all the things I'd love to do - if I had the energy. But to be honest, even writing this is zapping any creativity and insightful musings. And I guess that's what really bugs me about being sick: the exhaustion of even getting up to get some water from the kitchen or just moving from my bed to the sofa in my sitting room. I am superwoman. Doesn't bronchitis know that? To tweak Sweet Brown's quote, "ain't nobody got time for this!"
I hope you feel better soon, Bevy. WIll and Harry had that and Chestal by Boiron from Whole Foods helped immensely (as did the antibiotic). But seriously, it is homeopathic and you take it quite frequently but it really made them turn the corner. I hope you get back to yourself quickly.
