Well I feel it is time to put up a post, but I’m not sure what to talk about so we’ll just wing it.  I guess I should first mention that for the past three days I’ve been “confined to quarters,” that’s military for being sick and in your room.  It has been a ball my first day I watch Modern Marvels all day.  I knew it was too much when I watched the same episode “Barbeque Tech” which was pretty awesome.  I’ve had Extra Noodle Soup I think 4 days in a row, along with about 100 cough drops and I am once again officially an alcoholic with all of the shots of Nyquil and cough syrup I’ve been taking.  I don’t feel all that bad but the cough is still bad.  I did go to the doctor on Friday who confined me to quarters.  It was about a 2 hour process since I missed the “sick call” only because nobody ever told us when it was.  I had my vitals taken which was normal until the throat culture.  The nurse was surprised that I found it hard to keep my tongue out and it was uncomfortable when gagging me with a Q-tip.  Then the doctor came in a while later and gave me his diagnosis.

Having a wife as a med student, which made me go to the doctor, is always fun.  She was concerned but also I think a bit excited to compare diagnosis with the doctor’s.  I felt I had good information when I told her I had an upper respiratory viral infection.  It sounded pretty bad to me and I got a prescription to back it up.  Well when I told Christina she started laughing and said, “that’s just a cold.”  So I felt all the time I spent at the doctor was waisted.  However she got a good laugh.  Special thanks to the gal that gave me a ride back to my room as I was walking after missing the bus.

Well back to the Food Network and Modern Marvels.
