And here we go again

[redbird]

eleanor came over for lunch, and we had a good conversation--but when I went to walk with her as far as Broadway (four blocks) to run some errands, halfway there she pointed out that I was coughing a lot and should go home. And then L called and observed that I sounded worse than I had on Sunday, and should see my doctor.

I called, and the doctor's receptionist invited me to come right over. I did that thing. I have again had my temperature taken, my tongue depressed, and my chest listened to. The upshot is a different antibiotic prescription--this one to be taken with plenty of water, and not too near a multivitamin, and with advice to be careful about sun exposure and eat yogurt--and a referral for a chest X-ray. Oh joy. So tomorrow morning I'll take the bus up to St. Joseph's, and have my innards photographed. I have no idea what to hope for, or against, other than a short wait.

In point of fact, I believe I politely asked you not to cough up a lung.

Feel better soon, OK? If you want me to come up and study at your place, or cook for you , just say so.
