Bronchitis

So, I've been feeling sickish for the last few weeks off and on, but it hasn't been too terrible.  Until Thursday, when I spent all night at work coughing so hard that if felt like I'd bruised my ribs.  I got a couple of hours sleep but when I woke up at 7:00 and couldn't get back to sleep because I was coughing so hard and my ribs hurt when I breathed, I decided to go to the doctor.  I got a 9:30 appointment, so I was up and around much earlier than usual.  The doctor said it was bronchitis and wrote me three prescriptions.  I told him that I needed to go to work that day, and he said I really didn't and wrote me a note.  I did think about just taking the not so drowsy cough medicine, but the kind with the codeine sounded a whole lot better with all the pain, so I called in to work and spent the day sleeping inbetween coughing spells.  I'm supposed to take the cough syrup every six hours, and it seems to wear off around hour four or five.  Still better than nothing, and my ribs aren't nearly as painful today.  I got the Zpac for antibiodics, so three more doses of that.  I assume if I sleep through this weekend I should be good to go back to work on Monday.  This is really no fun, just for the record.
