Well, after some sustained coughing today, and additional pain, I decided it was time to see the doctor. My own doctor didn’t return a call that I made at noon, so I went to an urgent care after I was told that they have x-rays, and can take care of me.
That was partially true. After pre-registering online, and then still waiting 90 minutes, I see a very pretty nurse practitioner who informs me that they don’t have the equipment to do proper x-rays for my ribs to see if they’re broken…but she’d like to do a chest x-ray all the same.
I have the x-ray taken…and what do you know. On top of bruised/cracked/broken rib, I also am the proud owner of a case of bronchitis. Yeah, I know. I’ve had it before, and no biggie, right? Except for the fact that sneezing and coughing are more than a little painful.
So…I’m supposed to have more x-rays done tomorrow…which means I’ll need to take at least part of the day off. Should I take part, all, or none? THAT is the question I’ll be facing at 5:30 am. Until then…g’night kids.
