In which Rolanni has visited the physician

rolanniOfficial determination is that we're dealing with glorified con crud, and sorta need to just live with it until the cilia in various strategic regions, which have drowned, have re-established themselves. No infection discovered -- good. Lungs clear -- also good.
I have the blessed T-3 (Tylenol with Codeine) for cough suppression, which means I'll be able to sleep, thus reducing the likelihood of picking up a secondary infection due to a weakened immune system.
I also have a prescription for antibiotics, which the doctor allowed as how would probably do no good; it's mostly being held as a talisman against the rise of said secondary infection.
Had a fascinating talk with the doctor about what's routinely treated and tested for nowadays. Apparently the popular wisdom now is that healthy people in their 20s aren't treated aggressively for even pneumonia, which astonishes me, coming, as I do, from a Long Ago Time when people rather often died of pneumonia, and recoveries were months in the making.
I want to thank everyone for the well-wishes and to assure y'all that things are proceeding.
Of course, when I came home, I had a blessed T-3 and two hours of cough-free sleep (with Scrabble assisting; giving Mozart some much-needed down-time), so now I'm behind on today's work, which...
...might just need to get made up tomorrow.
In other news, while we were out, the edit letter for Dragon Ship landed. Steve is taking that on while I continue in a forwardly direction with George.
