Sick
Funny how the common cold can make you wish you were dead.
I know who did it: daughter of a patient I saw on Friday. She kept coughing without covering her mouth, launching snot rocket after snot rocket. One of them hit home.
The annoying thing is, I’ve already passed it to my son. Isn’t that the opposite of what’s supposed to happen?
So excuse me while I cough up a lung.
D.
Hope you all get better soon. (Good luck Karen, hope you’re wearing a surgical mask around all those sickies!)
I’m home sick today, too. MonkeyChild had a stuffy nose Monday, I got it Tuesday, spread it around at work yesterday, and decided to surrender and go back to bed today.
Hope we all recover quickly!
Maybe YOU should start wearing a surgical mask around kids; they teach them in the schools to cough into their elbow, but they don’t retain it.
Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks, everyone. Yeah, I’m thinking dentists have the right idea — they wear masks all the time.
Worse today. I started wheezing last night and making a host of other interesting noises — rattles, velcro ripping, etc. Only seems to happen when I’m supine. Now I’ve got chills, cough, mild sore throat. I’m going to try to get one of the pulmonologists on my floor to listen to my lungs this afternoon. Why not go for the very best?
