What The Doctor Said

[pantryslut]

1) Bronchitis. Viral. Something going around. Very persistent. Sorry. Cough syrup with codeine might help. Steroid inhaler might, too. Oh, and some pills. Prescriptions galore.

2) Muscle strain in shoulder. Physical therapist will know what to do. Referral.

3) Ringworm. Over the counter.

(what the doctor didn't say: nothing about my weight except "has it been stable?")

I also got tested for TB, and forgot to schedule a tetanus booster. And of course we went over my entire medical history, plus my family's. I concluded that all potential health problems except the migraines and the knee deterioriation -- diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid, cancer -- are my father's fault, or at least his family's. "I guess you should get a new daddy," he said when I told him the news. I replied that I thought it was too late for that.

It's NEVER too late to get yourself a new daddy.

(Don't look at me; that's not my kink.)

It's true that I can get a new daddy at any time, should I so wish; but alas, it would be additive not substitutive, and thus wouldn't address this particular problem.

Still could be fun, though.

Charles was just diagnosed with a cousin of ringworm and has a prescription ointment antibiotic for it.
Hope the bronchitis goes away soon.

I'm not 100% sure it's ringworm myself, but if it clears up, then I will nod sagely at my doctor's diagnosis.

Ain't nothing like bronchitis

Lots of sleep is the best cure. Good luck, it's a pain in ass. And not in a good way.
