I had an appointment with my lung doctor yesterday. I looked horrible. I was coughing, my eyes were running along with my nose and I sounded awful. She said she didn't want to spend much time alone in a small office with me. I noticed her washing her hands the moment I left.
The diagnosis: Acute Bronchitis
I am on major antibiotics for 20 days with orders that if I am not feeling better soon, I must go in for a chest x-ray.
So, we cancelled our dinner out with friends last night. Cancelled all rehab. Cancelled orchestra rehearsal. Cancelled Friday's rehearsal with the young violin students. Cancelled everything until Monday. Then, if I am better, I will take my mom to her back doctor and get referrals for all the other specialists she needs to see.
Michael is also sounding horrible but his immune system has kept his to just a cold. He sounds awful but feels fine. He slept on the couch last night because he really doesn't want to get bronchitis. Did I mention that we have two other beds in the house? No, he insisted on the couch.
So, I am hoping for warm sunshine later in the weekend but for today, I am staying in bed all morning! I hate being sick. I really want to get better soon. I need to remember to just stop.
