Cough Hack

So I went to the doctor yesterday. It was initially a followup on my carpal tunnel. It has alleviated and I am about at 90% functionality. He said I don't need surgery. I am glad for that. I think the biggest thing I did was to make my work area completely ergonomic. I got a sideways mouse which lowers wrist movement, a Microsoft ergo keyboard which puts less pressure on the hands, a baby railing on the desk edge which was hitting the nerve, and armrest pads which prevented my elbow from pinching the nerve.

I do like to go all out when a problem raises it's head. In this case the doctor said my ergonomic workplace is what made it all better. While I was there the doctor noticed I have the beginning of bronchitis. I thought it was an ear infection I picked up from Brennon. He had a fever over the weekend and I watched him on Monday on my day off.

So the doctor likes to go all out when he encounters a problem. He gave mr a steroid shot in bum, a prescription for antibiotics and anti-cough medicine and mucinex. This is really going to attack the problem. I am glad cause I can't afford to get sick since I have no days left. Once I jump to the IRS I will start accruing days again. That will be nice. I am feeling better on these meds. Brennon is doing better as well. I wish all medicines were cures. More tests...
