Rx

Been feeling sick for the past week.  Finally went to Urget care (easier than setting up an appointment and taking time off of work).  The doctor's name was Dr. Mann.  Short, older, adorable Indian doctor. 

My past medical history showed that I've had bronchitis and walking pneumonia in the past.  AND that I work with snot nosed children every day.  And, I know my body.  I knew my smoker's cough meant bronchitis.  I knew I would be in for some good medicine.  He did the full workup on me... checking out my orifices and listening to my breathing.... checking for sinus pressure and looking at my temperature...  and I was correct.

I had a fever on top of bronchitis.... again.  Two years in a row.  Same time as last.  However, this time I was prescribed different drugs - he prescribed me with the following concoction:

• Zythromiacin
• Steroids
• Cough Syrup with Codeine (my favorite)

Thank you sir, it sounds lovely.  I was told to come back in a week for a follow-up.  I didn't even realize they did those things there.  But, whatever.

So as we're discussing teaching and stuff, he said something to me that caught me off guard.

...."you aren't married yet?  You need to get married so you can have beautiful babies.  We need more beautiful babies and you will definitely make them"... 

Thanks?  I agree with you.  I will make beautiful babies... but finding a man in NoVa to do that with is easier said than done.  Then I got to thinking. 

Dr. Mann, perhaps after our follow-up on Friday, you can prescribe me with some phone numbers of beautiful, available men since you seem to have such good taste in beauty? 

Until then... I'll be in bed sippin' on some sizzrup and lovin' every codiene filled minute of it.
