Get me to the Doctor...Quick!

Taking care of Emery during her illness has passed the bug to her Dad and Mom and now to me. Mike and Brooke both had already been to the doctor for antibiotics and I thought I had escaped it, but I coughed all night and had the scratchy throat coming on, so rather than take a chance on giving something back to Emery this week, I went to the doctor too this morning. My symptoms are more like a chest cold rather than a head cold but I didn't want a round of bronchitis settling in. I can never get rid of it when I get it, and the consequences of having it are so miserable that the last time I had it, I wrote a song about it! Want to hear it? Here it goes! (make up your own tune) ha ha.
"Oh bronchitis is hard on the bladder- you cough and you pee and get madder - that you can't go nowhere or sit in a dry chair 'cause bronchitis is hard on the bladder!
Those pads that I wear aggrivate me- but I'll have to a lot more here of lately-
they'll bunch and they'll bind and rub my behind and the slippin' and drippin' irritate me.....but.......bronchitis is so hard on the bladder, I'll wear the granny pads and it won't matter, 'cause it won't run down my knees when I cough or I sneeze..ooohhhhh bronchitis is hard on the blaadddeerrr!"
There! I hope you liked my song! ~My tribute to grandmas everywhere~

I didn't realize how much older of a friend you really are1 So that is what I have got to look forward too. I know now what to tell the doctor the next time I feel a bout of bronchitis comming on! I need more than antibiotics so my OLD OLD friend says! I am so glad you are feeling better. Love you Rebbie!
