bird flu
There ought to be a box on the preappointment questionnaire for teachers to mark because I seem to get the same illness once a month. I have recently stopped calling the advice nurse--I have quit the usual doctor appointments to satisfy my hypochondriac drive too, you can see how unserious this has become.
But tonight I decided not to play pharmacist on myself. I made the call to ask if
it is okay to take tylenol sinus nighttime
and guiafenesin at the sametime...
and what if,
say I have this friend who likes to take sudafed but she isn't sure if the guiafenesin has worn off...
But immediately I am rushed through the halls of on hold to the appointment nurse who makes quick work of the usual maladies and she tripped me up... I answered wrong: one yes to tight something or other passageway, and no, she didn't say bronchial, I am a highly trained hypochondriac, I would have caught that one.
And now I have The Appointment for them to tell me there isn't anything anyone can do.
Shock notwithstanding, I look to my husband, the man who earlier replied to my request to finish my beer later by telling me to take it and drink it while I pedal the elliptical. He is now quietly singing along with his computer in preparation, as he says, to give me an ear whoopin this Sunday when I hear the worship band (I said: but how about if I just worship instead if I'm still alive?) and now, I continue while I have his attention, I have to go to the doctor but, for once, I'm not sure why
oh, he says, you've probably got the bird flu.
Thank you, Thanksgiving, damn it, are you even a holy day?
which reminds me: I will post thanksgiving day football pictures (Turkey bowl pictures, that is) as soon as they are available--Juliana is not superwoman, she is super and she is a woman but without that annoying patriotic hipster leotard so just be patient.
