My Doctor Visit

Mike insisted that I make an appointment with my doctor today, so I did and he was able to see me this afternoon. At this point, he doesn't suspect my sickness is related to the mold in our house. I tested negative for strep throat. He said he could hear wheezing and some rattling in my chest, but he says it's not bronchitis or pneumonia. He diagnosed me with an upper respiratory tract infection. He also said both my ears are filled with fluid and are infected, as well. He prescribed an antibiotic, lots of fluids for this congestion, and lots of rest.

So, I propped myself up in the recliner with some good ol' chicken noodle soup and some sprite, and I've pretty much camped out here all evening. Ryan and I watched a movie together (when I wasn't dozing off).

Mike bought the materials needed to repair the plumbing fixture this afternoon, but when he began working on it, something else broke apart and he's not so sure he can fix it now. So, we will have to wait until the first of next week for the contractor to get a plumber for us.

The boys decided that 3 days without tv was long enough, so they have improvised and set up a makeshift entertainment center for the tv. :)

We love the Andy Griffith Show!

I haven't missed having tv at all, but I did tell Mike that the thrifty side of me really does not like paying for something that we can't use. So, I didn't complain too much when they brought the tv back in and reconnected it :).
