Dr's Orders

I saw the specialist today. It was a follow-up visit for the bacterial blood infection that I have struggled with over the past 11 months. After months of drugs and misery, I am feeling better every day. It feels good to be breathing easy and I had every expectation of being cut loose from treatment. I have to say that my appointment had some ups, downs and downright surprises.

First the downs; after listening to what I had to say and listening to my lungs he then told me that it is very possible I will have to go through another course of antibiotics. But he is willing to wait and see if the cough gets worse again.

Next the surprise; he asked me if I snored. When I told him that my border collie had never complained about me snoring, he told me perhaps it was time for me to find a bed partner. I told him that my border collie never snores and does not hog the bed covers. I wanted to ask him if he had been talking to my father, since dad is always nagging me about finding a husband as well.

And now the ups; I am released! Of course with the understanding that I will call in if my breathing gets worse or I begin coughing again. But I have no more appointments with him scheduled and that feels mighty good from where I am sitting.

So now I get to keep getting better and stronger ... and no .... I am not going to look for a husband. There are some things that even a doctors order does not make it sound attractive.

Nope ....
