I seeked professional help

I know you could say I need professional help in many areas, but in this case I'm talking about my health- not my mental health.

I realized when I checked into this hotel that the last time I was staying here was when I first got this cold. That was in mid-January. Since then, it mostly went away, but I never really got rid of the annoying cough. The cold/cough has been making it's way around the crew that I travel with, and last week, I got hit with it pretty hard again.

I tried to tough it out again, but I just couldn't do it. Today I went to see a medical professional and was diagnosed with Acute Infectious Bronchitis. I was running a fever, and both my pulse and blood pressure were elevated. I was given an antibiotic to take for the next 7 days, and hopefully that will finally get this out of me.

It's now 7:30pm here, the sun is back out (after a nice hail inducing thunderstorm) and I'm going to bed. I've taken my NyQuil for the night, so I'll be asleep for 5-6 hours until the NyQuil wears off and I need to take my second shot.
