I had a fine time at the game last night. The Braves won. It was the best weather we've had on the 4th for years, so the game was at capacity and all the fireworks shows were packed. However, I'm still very anemic, and that was the most walking I've done in months. My abdominal muscles are sore from too much breathing.
You want to meet the real me now?

Ginger, maybe you'll get muscles?
Humorously, I swear I developed new definition in my abs from the strong-spazzy ( but thankfully short in each spasm) coughing I had after the last cold. It's one of those ok, but that's not how illness usually works. Ditto the weightless a couple folks have commented on. I'm all, um yeah, shitty way to do it, sum total 5 days no eating and 3 nonfunctional due to stomach bug or that cold in the last few months.
I cannot recommend any of it!

Gaspersize. It's the latest thing.

Oh, yeah, after several months of bronchitis a few years ago, my abs looked fabulous.

Our wings are not tired.
Damn, I have never had bronchitis. That must be why I have crappy abs. I knew there had to be a good reason.

Never? Wow. I thought it was one of those things that everyone got every few years or so.

My 3 siblings have had it a number of times, but never here. Apparently some level of natural immunity. Never had strep throat either despite all around me getting it. When I asked the doctor about the strep thing she said I probably did carry it, but didn't get symptoms. Seems like that would be less likely with bronchitis.

I had bronchitis at least once a year until a few years ago, when I switched to sinus infections. I missed weeks and weeks of school, because the teachers would send me home for coughing. My mother was always battling to keep me in class, because I coughed for weeks after the disease itself was gone.
This Nightline Prime is about Munchausen by Internet, and the psychologist they interviewed said, "I call it Munchausen by Internet." I doubt he was the first to call it that.

I had pneumonia once, but not bronchitis as far as I'm aware...
I did get weighed at the doctors office today, and am rather dismayed at the number.
