Home Life > Bronchitis

Our family doctor* told Melissa she has bronchitis. Since I have the same cough she's got I guess I've got it, too.

Funny. I thought bronchitis would be worse than this. Don't get me wrong. It was no fun two nights ago, and Melissa's on her second rough day. Then yesterday I took a sick day and slept, and now today I felt better and went to the office and got some useful work done. I feel like I'm well on the mend. If that's the best you've got, Mr. Bronchitis, then I'm more than a match.

This past year Melissa and I have been sick more often than any other time in our life. I think it's a combination of the two kids going to preschool and bringing home little kid germs, my mom going to the senior center once a week and bringing home old people germs, and us going to work and bringing home co-worker germs (I'm looking at you, Glenda :-).

People with kids tell us that you build up immunity after awhile.
