Visited The Doctor

After having a bad cough for almost three weeks, I decided to see a doctor over at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston this afternoon.  Dr. Reale had me doing deep breaths to determine what was wrong.  I had to do those several times because I was coughing a lot during the examination.

She heard my lungs and they didn't sound good.  "A lot of tightness," she said.  She gave me a prescription for antibiotics and cough syrup with codine.  Really strong stuff.  It might be a bronchital infection or a mild case of penumonia, according to her.

So now I'm taking some stronger medicine.  I hope this works.
