We headed off to the urgent care clinic on Monday and they put both Connie and Neil in the same room together as they had the same symptoms. They lucked out and only waited 5 minutes or less before going back. Once the doctor cam in and heard the symptoms and listened to their lungs he determined they had bronchitis and prescribed some Prednisone, strong cough syrup, and some antibiotics to potentially take. He said that most bronchitis is viral but gave them the antibiotics to take at their discretion if they aren’t getting any better…and told them that the median bronchitis time is 21-35 days which put them pretty much at the median the day they were there. The Prednisone  helps with the inflammation symptoms and the cough syrup is good stuff that helps a lot with that as well. Neil’s feeling better overall but not back to normal yet…Connie was improving until this morning when she feels a bit worse but it’s one of those couple good days then a bad day thing the doctor said they would have.

They finally finished unpacking, laundry, and putting everything away yesterday…they’ve been working on it a bit at a time since returning last Saturday. He’s still got the camera backpack to unload and the picture to process…but both of them are still pretty tired most of the time and also have some brain fog due to the strong antihistamine in the cough syrup so he’s just not felt like it.

Sorry ‘bout the delay…but it is what it is and both of them are taking a lot of rest periods, eating well, and sucking down drugs to help with the symptoms.The cleaning service is coming this morning and then they need to run down and pick up a grocery order from Walmart but other than cooking dinner that’s all that is on the schedule for today. Both of them are really, really ready for this to get better.
