Notice

After three weeks of near constant coughing, day and night, every three to five minutes, and yeah these are the "wet and nasty" coughs that make you run the other way when someone like me is in line at Mcdonalds with you; I went to a new level of awful today when I managed to cough up some blood.

Well now!, that gets your attention pretty quick now doesnt it! It's Gods way of saying, "hey smartass - you are really sick ok!, so quit screwing around and go see the doctor fer cryin' out loud!!".

So I broke with the male chromosonal tradition of letting things solve themselves and went and saw the doctor.

The Good News: After poking, prodding, x-rays,flex cams, and sputum samples I can say with authority that what I dont have is - Lung Cancer, TB, Asthma, "Kennel cough" or Pneumonia. I was leaning heavily towards the "Kennel cough" diagnosis. With the exception of the fact that my throat looks like I just tried to polish it with steel wool, I'm in remarkably good shape.

The Bad News: I have a very severe case of bronichitis which has lead to a small infection on my right lung, which if left alone could get worse. So over the next few days I will be visiting the parlor of Miss Codeine and Miss Supplemental Oxygen for afternoon tea.

Im not really good at being sick. I'm even less good at blogging under the influence, so I'll be back in a few days.
