I'm back from the doctor and from Costco pharmacy. I have bronchitis and started on the Z-Pack just now, so I will start to feel better soon. The doctor said that what the xray showed wasn't consistent with Valley Fever - it "didn't have the look" of a fungal infection. That's all I wanted to know, and now I can forget about it. I certainly would never go back to Quest Labs for a blood test again - I still haven't heard the results.
I was worried about the bridge traffic on Sunrise Blvd just before turning to where I live, but although it was starting to get heavy I beat the worst of it. Dog has been walked and I'm debating on whether to nap before I eat or vice versa.
All the gas stations I passed today show diesel to be about $4.50 a gallon. You can imagine what that is doing to the cost of products that must be shipped to the stores. It's all the more reason to buy local, and maybe the cost of an online purchase isn't that much cheaper when you figure in the shipping & handling.
I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

- The Incessant Wind

- Update, 2nd Post 3/26
With all the comments I received suggesting that I might have Valley Fever, I decided at 5:30 pm to drive to an Urgent Care center about 6 miles from here. I've been there before, and really like and trust the staff. A chest xray didn't really...
- One Doctor Out Of The Way
I came away with a prescription for Prilosec to take for one month and then stop. I think it will work much better than the OTC stuff, which is really little better than nothing. I am also going to try to get off HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide) for blood pressure,...
- Baby Shower This Weekend
Wednesday, 7/28 I went with Jeannie this evening (Wednesday) to Babys-R-Us to shop for things for the upcoming baby shower we're having for Megan, Steve & Baby Liam this coming Saturday. I'm always totally amazed at how this industry has grown...
