On The Road to Recovery

I ended up staying home from the garden event that would have me wandering around in 80+ heat on Sunday and took myself to Urgent Care instead.

There was a long wait even with an appointment but I didn’t really expect much different on a Sunday morning.

Inflammation in the lungs, painful throat, no fever, diagnosis = Bronchitis. By the time I left the building, my prescriptions were ready to pick up down the road. The convenience of medical technology. They put me on 5 day Z-pack, some cough suppressant pills, and an inhaler. The inhaler is a first and I read the instructions obsessively before trying it out. It really does help!

I was feeling decent enough to stop and pick up a grilled cheese sandwich before I headed home. Coincidentally, as I was driving home from the restaurant my husband and friends were texting me to see if I wanted them to pick me up a grilled cheese sandwich! They were heading over to get theirs on the way home!

The medication has definitely kicked in and I went to work on Monday but avoided the fundraiser Tea Party meeting with a group of volunteers. I know when I won’t be wanted!

Today I’m feeling even better but my husband is insisting I can’t go to the event I’ve been planning on for a month – a psychic medium at our local brewery. I told him it will be a Game Time Decision. I really don’t want to miss it, but, in small area…..surround by other people and I’m sniffling from post nasal drip and clearing my throat and coughing?

Can I pass it off as allergies?!? What would you do?

I am a collector of family history - pictures, stories, facts - whatever I can get my hands on. I share that at It's All About Family. I started Thoughts From the Passenger Seat because I have a lot on my mind! It started riding on the back of my husband's motorcycle and on business appointments but I don't do much of either anymore but the thoughts are still there. I enjoy writing and I hope you find something that you connect with on either of my blogs. Thoughtsfromthepassengerseat.blog - Thoughts From the Passenger Seat NancyB422.com - It’s All About Family

  1. A relatable read. Sometimes it really is a judgment call between resting and showing up for life, especially when you’re just starting to feel better. Glad you’re on the mend, and that the meds are helping.
