I'm So Smart


Yesterday I was feeling some early cold-like symptoms. By the time I got home from work, I was starting to feel chilled, no matter how many blankets I piled on me. Eventually I got into bed with the full weight of every textile in the house stacked on top of my down comforter. It didn't help.

Seems like every year about this time I get a sinus infection. But fortunately, before I left L.A., I anticipated this possibility and requested two prescriptions of wide spectrum antibiotics. So after long-distance communication with my doctor, with Mark as the intermediary, I'm popping Cipro.

I've been munching on dry cereal. The front of the cereal box shows a cartoon duck enthusiastically digging in to a bowl. On the back are the typical things you see on cereal boxes. On this one is a kind of maze activity. I'm not sure what the point is. It looks like it might be some sort of chop shop primer for the Play-Doh set. "Help Ducky take the rims off Whitey's car!"

OK, here comes mom the RN. Rest Rest Rest. That sounds like something you should do for a few days. Our immune system is the most important part of health and it gets knocked down when your body is go go go. Well there it is. My Rx.

You'll be happy to know that rather than go in to work, I've spent the entire day in slothful reclination on the sofa.

Personally, I think it's all that cigarette smoke irritating the sinuses, leaving them vulnerable for infection. That's what I think.

jmd is absolutely correct. I just didn't want to harangue about the constant surrounding of cigarette smoke. I think I once mentioned wearing a mask when I first read about the population's smoking habits.

Look, I couldn't agree more with your collected diagnosis. But can you really imagine me sitting there around a table wearing a surgical mask?! All the cool Russians will think I'm a nerd!

davidsky, ! ..... since when did you ever care what people think when it concerns something sane? I know, you don't want to insult the masses, but you have an excuse now. If you were on the Titanic would you not put on a life jacket just because it would wrinkle your Tuxedo? Ya, ya , I know, even men in life jackets didn't make it.....the point is ...well, you know. Tell 'um your doctor has ordered the wearing of a mask. So be it.
