That kind of running certainly makes more sense! I know how I sick I

was even though it has been years since I had an bout of bronchitis,

it was certainly one of the worst times. One winter I was so bad on

Christmas day that my mother and sisters went to church without me and

by the time they got home I had been crawling from my bed to bathroom

to throw up! Fortunately, back in the '50's, our family doctor came

out on a Sunday, game me a shot for the bronchitis and another to take

to care of the upset stomach. So, I sleep Christmas day for the whole

day! And don't know if it was because I was taking a bookkeeping

class that year and had a practice set due in January, so I missed 6

weeks of school (would spend the days up and get so tried by the end

of the day, I was home in bed the next day)

Then I had another bout in college and only one or 2 since then -- now

I have to knock on wood so I won't jinx myself!

,

Nothing about all this coughing is fun - it hurts my head, my chest

and my throat! I always end up nearly losing my voice, which means

that as far as singing specials at church go, well, I usually DON'T

thru the winter! No housecalls here, although bless their hearts, my

PCP DOES hear me when I say that some of the meds make me nauseous so

I generally have phenergan in the house. Because I'm so immuno-

suppressed from all the other ailments besides the fibro, well, when

they give me antibiotics, they aren't the easy ones, they are the

ones that kick your butt! I may end up going back today; I'm not

feeling better and in fact, feel worse. Another shot is coming, I

sense it!
