I’m still battling the cold and cough, hoping to avoid a 5-month bout of bronchitis like last year… when it finally went away after I started taking anti-acid reflux drugs in addition to some prescription and over-the-counter medications for general cough and asthma. There’s some kind of connection.
In about half an hour, we leave to go to lunch with the family, at a deli up in Highland Park. It’s bitterly cold, and with the wind-chill factor it’s about -20 degrees, something that’s guaranteed to get my cold-weather asthma to kick in (something else I have to avoid if I’m going to dodge the bronchitis). Although I stayed home from work Friday, stayed in yesterday, and skipped church this morning, this luncheon date is a do-not-miss: a family announcement about health will be made. Hugs and support will be needed.
Don’t know how positive the outlook will be until later this week, Hope the shoe drops on the right side of things. My little cold-and-cough is nothing compared to this, but that’s about all I can say for now.
