It’s No Wonder!


I’ve been coughing, hacking, wheezing, sniffling, etc off and on now since Thanksgiving. On the New Year’s Day ride I about blew a lung trying to keep up with the riders in front and subsequently skipped the Gold Sprints. This past weekend, when the Coffee and Donut ride stopped at a stop light, I promptly horked up a lung. Saturday I felt miserable.

Yesterday, I finally went to the doctor. After the doctor did some lung listening I needed to breathe in some medicine to see if that cleared things up. Nope. The doctor says, “You’ll need a chest X-Ray to see if you have pneumonia.” Great.

One (1) chest X-Ray later, no pneumonia. Whew to that!

Bronchitis – I’ve got it. Now I have two (2) prescriptions and an inhaler. The good news, the drugs should clear things up in two (2) to three (3) days. The inhaler is in case I get short of breath while exerting. I started the drugs yesterday and can already tell things are better.


Ride On.
