So, I decided to go to the doctor after about a week of this unpleasant congestion/coughing/scratchy voice stew. It's been costing me sleep as the congestion will move just right in the night to trigger my coughing reflex and I just can't stop. The doc gave me steroids for the laryngitis part of it (To keep me speaking as much as I can, since I'm in sales.), antibiotics for any chest infection, and a prescription cough suppressant. Hopefully these will work, but if not, the doc wants to treat for pneumonia. I know this, I've been coughing and hacking for a week and all I've gotten out of the deal is a sore throat!

Almost to add insult to injury, my glasses broke too! That would have been a bad day had I not found a spare pair that I never used. Using them now, I guess!

Chest congestion aside, I've been enjoying a new series, "The Rig." It focuses on a bunch of offshore oil rig workers who find themselves cut off from the mainland due to, among other things, an otherworldly fog that surrounds the platform and starts mischief of it's own, but it more effectively triggers the fear, mistrust and paranoia of the workers stuck there. Good series so far!
