2016/June/14 - Sickness

Just before going to bed last night Grump developed a cough.  All night long he coughed and coughed and coughed and coughed and coughed and coughed and coughed some more.  He didn't get much sleep at all.

Needless to say this morning when he woke up, (coughing, of course!), he felt horrible.  He called his boss saying he would be coming in late to work, then went to a local "doc in a box" place right up the road from our apartment called American Family Care.  If you're ever ill and need medical attention in Columbus, Georgia I highly recommend this place.  It was clean and relatively quick, and the doctor wasn't some old drunk or an Indian who didn't speak English.

Anyway, the main reason Grump went is that Kuya had strep throat last week, and Grump didn't want to be going into work with strep throat.  Turns out he just has a sinus infection, (which he seemingly gets all the time!), so although he still felt cruddy, he wasn't seriously ill.

His prescription, (for amoxicillin, which he thinks is just a placebo), was quickly filled at the Walmart next door, and in no time at all he was at his desk at work, feeling miserable.  (Ah!  Poor Grump!  Please tell the old fool he should be happy that he even has a job!)

LOTS of drugs at Walmart!


Despite his woes he managed to eat a VERY delicious lunch Sweetie had prepared for him over the weekend: roasted beets, tomatoes, basil, and chicken.  It was yummy, yummy, yummy!

Peace!
