Upheaval. story of my life. I actually called in sick two days last week. TWO DAYS! This is because a week later, I am still battling the aforementioned evil gnomes of destruction. I went to see the doctor yesterday, and he assured me that "even though I heard a little fluid in your lungs, it went away when you coughed, so I'm marking it down as a 'normal' lung exam...because it's Saturday." WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
He ended up telling me that it's mostly a Bronchitis thing, and he gave me a ZPack (antibiotics) anyway...just in case it really *was* pneumonia--Saturday or no Saturday. He tried to prescribe me Robitussin with codeine for my inconceivably prolonged and violent coughing fits, but I put the kibosh on that rather quickly, having had an ugly reaction to the stuff aeons ago when I had my wisdom teeth out (codeine, not Robitussin!). So regular Robitussin DM for me, and an inhaler to help me get my breathing back on track after one of those fits.
Pretty excited about being on a plane with all my drugs and a hacking cough. Yes. A plane. My dear Grandma Tocco finally decided it was okay to go yesterday, so I'm off to Indiana in the morning. I'll be back here late on Wednesday, and hopefully by then I'll be 100% --or at least 85%--healthy.
Looking forward to that. I've been in a bad, foggy groggy place for the past week, and I love it not. Even going back to work will be a treat. Hell, walking 10 steps without doubling over with a coughing fit will be nice.

Sorry to hear about Grandma. I hope her passing was peaceful and she was surrounded by love. I am sure you sent her a lot of loving energy. Perhaps that is why you are having so much "fun" with the mucous gnomes. The sensed your vulnerability.
Take care of yourself.
Dad is right, those gnomes will jump in when they see you are distracted.
I, too, hope that your Grandmother's passing was peaceful.
Travel safe. Gnomes, give her a break already!!!
