It's been an interesting week. I think because of my late night last Saturday and my tendencies to have an occasional cigarette while out drinking with smoker friends, the congestion in my chest worsened. I went to the doctor on Monday and took the rest of the day off as I was feeling very puny. Upper respiratory infection I was told. Tuesday morning I was feeling even more puny and by Wednesday morning I was having trouble breathing. Back to the doctor I went and after some chest x-rays the new diagnosis was bronchitis. With the right meds now I am finally feeling better.

I have finally accepted the fact that I just have weak lungs and that under no circumstances will I smoke anything. That's OK, I won't miss it at all; I'd rather breathe. Even the occasional cigar with other friends will have to be a no-no for me. Eh... I'm really OK with that too.
I also will have to watch and get myself to the doctor if I am again feeling congestion in my lungs. I annoy myself with the coughing and well as others. I surely must have coughed up a lung by now.
I am tired of being sick, but I know that getting plenty of rest will get me back into life soon enough.
Hope y'all are having a great weekend.

I'm sorry for the bronchitis but I'm glad you're feeling better already! :-)
as an asthma sufferer, I know the feeling; I cannot be around any of that or I WILL hack up a lung.
we want you around for a loooooong time, jim!
I'm glad you're feeling more Jim-like now. Here's hoping you get to 100% soon!
