So I've been sick for over a week now. Usually when I get sick, it's over in a matter of days. But I've had a persistant cough, and sometimes I cough so hard that it gives me a headache that is pretty horrible.
I was feeling absolutely great this morning, and I think I over-exerted myself when I went to help Melissa and John move, because later this evening I was back to giving myself a headache and worrying our guests.
My parents say that it could be bronchitis, which means it won't go away without medical intervention. I honestly think it was mostly that I went and moved heavy boxes and furniture in hot and damp and rainy weather and that made it worse when I was on the mend.
We'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow. If I'm still pretty horrible, I'm going to find out what hoops I need to jump through with my HMO provider; according to my parents, I can't just walk into the hospital unless I get a referral.
If it lasts past tomorrow, I'm going to get scared.
