Bronchitis and sinus infection.
That's what harleydad has. We spent all morning trying to find a doctor who would see him. Either they weren't accepting new patients, or couldn't give him an appointment until next Friday. A friend pulled some strings and got him in. Now he has medicine and can start getting well. I'm glad I called that friend.
:loveya:

Wouldn't mind a few Lounge vibes, thoughts, and prayers ... whatever you're comfortable with ... for him. Things have been a bit rough lately and being sick doesn't help.

Thanks in advance. :grouphug:

14. OK.
Life has been one stress after another lately. But the house is coming along (drywall next week) and we're fine.

How 'bout you? I miss seeing you, but I haven't really been around much. :hug:

9. Good vibes coming your way..
It is so important to catch sinus infections before they get harmful (ideally, you should get them before they become infections, hehe). I hope he gets better! Before I had insurance I got a bad sinus infection and no doctor would see me so I ended up going to see a little "clinic" in a grocery store parking lot. They only took cash and I dont know if they're legal, but they had antibiotics!

13. Thanks, noshenanigans.
I like your username! :thumbsup:

He's been coughing all week and thought it was post nasal drip. Hejust started complaining about his sinuses last night. We just moved here last June and didn't have a doctor yet. But I think we caught it in time.

When you're sick, it's hard to care about what's legal. They've taken medical care away from so many people. What else are you supposed to do when you need medicine? I'm glad you were able to get them.

Who would think they would make it hard to find antibiotics, yknow? Amazing.

27. I'm going through the exact same thing...My sympathies!
I was supposed to be flying a Los Cabos turnaround today, but got a nasty blocked ear flying yesterday, so today was see the Dr. day. Sadly, my company believes calling in sick is a fiendish plot to bankrupt them, so will have to deal with that crap next week.

28. Oh, I'm so sorry.
:( Harleydad's company thinks the same thing, even though he almost never calls in sick. :banghead: Maybe you could bring in the doctor's bill and post it next to your desk. :shrug:

I hope you get better soon. :hug:

39. If I had a desk, I'd do that! lol
I haven't called in sick in well over a year, and I have a note from my Dr, so hopefully they won't give me too much grief. I'll probably be flying again by Monday night.

Hope Harleydad is feeling better!

36. Thank you, SF.
He just said that he's feeling better today. Guess he really did need to see the doc and get some meds. The healing vibes really did the trick! :D

Love the smileys!!!!! :yourock:

37. Oh for you
and Harleydad - anything.

I'm sorry that he had to go through hoops just to see a doctor. The other day when I was feeling so crappy, I called my clinic and said, "I want a dr.'s appt. and I want it today." Their only rely was, "how soon can you get here!" Guess I'm lucky that way.

38. Aw, shucks, thanks.
:loveya: :hug:

I was lucky that way in FL. Actually, I think my doc would probably call in a prescription for me if I needed one, since I saw him recently. But harleydad hardly ever gets sick so he doesn't have a doctor ... well, he does now. :D We found out from our builder that there are a few walk-in clinics that are better than going to the emergency room, so that would have been plan B.
