cough, cough, hack, hack, *splat* - so that's what it looks like.
I think I am back in the world of the living. I won't commit myself until I make it the rest of the day. Except for Tuesday morning and another attempt Thursday morning, I have been either in bed or on the couch. I doubt I have any lungs left as I have been coughing them out for the past 10 days. The *official* diagnosis is viral bronchitis with a prognosis of "wait it out". (This is from a man with 12-14 years of training, x years of practice and a 6 or 7 figure income - an expert in the field. go figure.) I am still waiting, albeit from my desk now instead of the couch.
Laura is almost over hers, as she didn't have nearly as bad a case as I do. She only missed 1.5 days of work. She is back to planning for her trip. She's talking to her sisters about the pros & cons of buying a 14 day rail pass (@$330 per person) or renting a car (@$700) while they are there. They are beginning to talk about what they want to see, about Scotland vs. Paris for the weekend, etc.
I am back to shopping for cameras and hope to wrap it up soon. Thanks for all of your suggestions & advice - I still haven't quite made up my mind, though. Also, thanks for all of your well-wishes regarding my on-going cheating of death - I hope to continue to do so, but it is difficult with most of my lungs strewn about the house. Wish me luck.
7 deeply creased, dogeared comment(s):
Ten days' worth of lungs strewn about? Kinda minimizes the diaper-blow-out incident from yesterday.
You have my condolences - I hope those dark days of being so sick you've forgotten what it feels like otherwise are soon over.
So rumors of your death were greatly exagerated. I am glad for you.
But isn't coughing ghood for the stomach muscles?
Glad you're back in the land of the living..(and the hacking!. Hope you're back to 100% soon! Neat for Laura to look forward to a trip and start planning!
Sounds like you are coming back to the land of the living, yes... I've had that before so I can empathize with your situation.
Hope you'll be in full recovery soon! No more leaving lungs laying around the house ~ or bits of lung. It's unseemly. :0)
Peace,

De - diaper blowout? Urgh. Been there, done that, got the stains on the t-shirt. I feel for you.
Meno - if that were true, I'd have ripped abs by now. I only wish.
Mother of Invention - Thanks. Now that I'm capable, I'm getting excited again for Laura too.
Chani - It has required a good bit of cleaning, but I think I've got most of the alveoli picked up.
Form is content: good humor is more worthy than any edifying platitude about the human's fate.
There you are!
I know phlem all to well these days and vomit (but I digress.)
Here's to your continued recovery *raising a glass of Theraflu*
