Cliff said.....

Yes, I am a hard head. I don't always go to the doctor, when I should. I fight it as long as I can, thinking I'll be better tomorrow. Well, today I couldn't fight it any longer. I gave in and went. That place was a coughing madhouse. 
Three and a half hours, one chest x-ray, one breathing treatment and five medication prescriptions later, I was able to leave. Doc said, "You have a bad case of bronchitis."


Cliff said............"You need an excel spreadsheet to keep up with that."

And then he took me to dinner for Won Ton soup. 
Before heading home, we drove down to the beach. 

 Look how pretty the water is. Light blue, light aqua and grey. 

And, the ocean was pretty calm. Such a gorgeous day!

  3. Bless your heart, Laurie,I am so sorry you are sick. It sounds serious. I will pray for you and I am hoping you will have a speedy recovery, sweet friend. The pictures you took of the beach and sunset are beautiful and maybe that and the ocean air will do you some good too!

  5. Laurie- I had this a month ago.
    I don't mean to sound like the voice of doom, but you can not ignore it.
    Follow instructions my friend and buy Hall's cough drops.

    1. Thank you, Haddock! It's not often we see the two or three shades of muted colors in the ocean. It is very serene. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Please come again.

  7. Good gosh, Laurie! (There sure seems to be a lot of colds, flu and other respiratory illnesses going around this year. Not good.) With all the medication remember to let yourself rest (I know, I know, all the lying around tends to drive one crazy) so your body can put all its energies into healing. Get well soon!

    1. You can find the Mucinex just about anywhere here in the US. I agree, the beach cures all.

  9. I never got to the doctor either.

    Right now, I'm fighting a cold. I hope it doesn't get worse.

    1. I wish I had gone sooner. I even asked the doctor how long should I wait before going to the doctor. He said he tells his patients that you will know. Your symptoms will worsen or you just feel horrible, but you will know and of course if you cough longer than a week, it's best to check it out. Hope you feel better soon, Darlene!

  10. Hi Laurie, so sorry you are sick. I know it has been bad this year. My son had pneumonia and the cough and congestion just hung on forever. Your stop at the beach had to lift your spirits anyway. The photos are beautiful.So hope you get to feeling better soon. Sending a prayer up for you. xo

    1. Thanks, Celestina! My little grandson had pneumonia too. It has really been a bad year. Although, the flu hasn't been so bad around here. That's a good thing.

  11. Oh, dear! The cough that is going around here is really hard to shake. I have friends who have had it for a month and Steve is at 3 weeks with it.

    Take care of yourself.

    1. Thank you, Lynn. I feel lots better, once I started the antibiotic. It was like night and day. I still have this cough, though. I'm expecting it to hang around for awhile longer. Thanks again for your sweet prayers, love and well wishes! I hope you have a great day and get to enjoy these beautiful days we are having.
