9 years. mechanchaos and I have been married for 9 years. We have been together for a little more than a decade. Dude. That's no small accomplishment.

We didn't do much anything for our anniversary due to the sick of doom in the house. My diagnosis from the NP was bronchitis, for which I now have albuterol, prednisone, and zithromax. I was still in my appointment when mechanchaos took Aidan in for his. I don't know what the diagnosis was, but he came out with albuterol and zithromax as well. Now all three of us have inhalers for this crud. Bleurgh.

I was stagnating long before the sick brought us to our knees. Getting exhausted be a trip to buy pillows and tissues, or a trip to the doc isn't helping matters much. It was practically t-shirt weather out there for me! I do not doubt that I am a cool weather girl. 60 degrees out and I'm ready to start calling it springtime, even if I know it won't last.

I'm alert enough to be bored, but fatigued enough to be frustrated. So here I am, bumming around the computer, too woobly in the head to WoW without feeling motion-sick, and randomly adding people just because I've been listening to a lot of Ruki Vverh today and decided to do a search for them in interests. At least the music isn't making my ears explode today. I like the option of silencing my mental DJ with real music. Did I mention bleurgh?

What is your style of Gothic Beauty?

Classic New Romantic: You are the gothest of the Goth, your pale skin and raven hair fool mourners into thinking you are a living ghost as you slink around a graveyard with your sketch book. You are the epitome of the scene; you listen to the right music, wear beautifully tailored gowns and are intelligent enough to hold your own against normal people who accuse you of being Satanic. You have a tight circle of friends who you do everything with and they understand when you need time alone. You see beauty where others see dirt, you're creative flair will lead you down paths that only people can dream about. You seem unapproachable but that is just your icy exterior, there are times when you open up, most often when you've had more wine than usual! You wear your dark cape and gothic jewelled chokers with a regal air you were born with. Your motto is "There is beauty in darkness"

Have any ideas on how I could better entertain myself in ways that won't remotely exacerbate dizziness or turn me into a quivering pile of fatigue beans?

At least Zithromax works really fast. That's what they gave me when I had bronchitis, too. I really hope you start feeling better soon. The steroids should kick-start your immune system, as well.

You could take Florajen (or some other probiotic) to counteract the good stuff that the antibiotics might be killing off. And as for passing the time, I always recommend a good DVD box set or a nice long book.

*Hugs* Feel better quickly, all three of you.

Or just eat plenty of yogurt, or take acidophilus supplements.

If we have a chance, one of us can drop of season 4 for you. Or John can pick it up after work one day. That'd be good entertainment for you.

Happy Happy anniversary!! I hope you get well very soon so that you can go out and have a celebration that you'll really enjoy. :)))))

I don't know much about entertainment... I think I'd watch reruns of House, M.D. or Dr. Who. Or maybe you could have a manga night and watch your favorite anime! Um.. if you like that sort of thing.

Thank you very much! I hope so too. Anime is something that mechanchaos and I like to share on occasion. I think we need to exercise our DVD collection a bit more. :)

Oh... wondering how long you've been on the meds...
I hope they kick in soon.

Just started this round Monday. albuterol is nice immediate relief for some of the wheezing and coughing. The zithromax ought to be a quick mover if there are germs that need a good ass kicking. Not sure how soon the prednisone should feel like it's doing its thing.

I've been improving, for certain, but I'm having a terrible time getting any sleep at all at night for all the hacking and coughing. Worse yet, I keep waking mechanchaos up with it.

I hope the meds kick in soon too!

[siegeengine.livejournal.com]

aww! :((((((( I'm sorry about the hacking and coughing.
I'd think the prednisone would be working pretty quick to open up the breathing. Maybe a tiny bit of robitussin? Not sure if that would help... maybe you could call the doc and ask for robitussin with codeine over the phone. Not that codeine is anything great to take, but it is aces when it comes to coughs.
*hugs* and *chicken soup*

The weird thing about the cough is absolutely nothing comes up. Part of me wonders if there's even anything down there to be coughed up! If it's still hanging in there on Friday, I fully intend to call back and see if there's something else we should be doing.

When mechanchaos went to the doc last Thursday, they gave him some of the codeine cough syrup... He hasn't been using much of it. (I envy his super-charged immune system.) Perhaps in the meantime, I should ask him for a couple doses of the stuff.

***hugsback*** Mmmm... Chicken soup... I have a can of chicken and stars just waiting for me to want to feel like a kid again. :) Thanks for triggering my memory of that!
