I couldn't come in then because my wife's truck is being worked on, and we're down to sharing one vehicle. As it is, I had to rely on my ex-daughter-in-law to take my wife to work today so I could use the car.
So here I am at the doctor's office, and after being told I have bronchitis and being prescribed some really swell drugs, the nice lady doctor goes out and leaves me sitting there for about 20 minutes. Then she comes in and tells me, I'm finished and could go. I asked her about the blood work. "Oh," she said. "I'll get someone in here for you."
Yes, they had forgotten me. But all was not in vain. I, of course, had my trusty Kindle with me, and was able to finish Talks To Teachers On Psychology; And To Students On Some Of Life's Ideals by William James while I was waiting. Sometimes these lectures were dry-going, abut at other moments they were very inspiring and noteworthy. He was an interesting fellow.
Also today, a few minutes ago, I also finished the December 3 issue of Science News.
Life is good. (=cough=) (=hack=) |
Aww!! I hope you feel better soon, Tom.
Bronchitis is no joke. I seem to now be prone to upper respiratory infections after a very bad bout of bronchitis a few years ago. Talk about UGH!!!
Glad you had your Kindle to keep you company.
I'm surprised they went ahead with your blood work knowing that you're not feeling well, but at least that's out of the way.
Get some rest, plenty of fluids, etc. etc. etc.
