I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I cough all winter most every winter, but I don't go to the doctor for it. It's just normal for the season.

Mowed 1/3-1/2 of the lawn, and it's already 90 in the shade so that is all that is getting done out there (where it is not, for the record, shady) today. Maybe I will do a little yardwork in the mornings before work while it is cool? Could happen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've had bronchitis a few times and abs many times, but they seem to be independent variables.

I'm still waiting to find out when the epidural is going to be (thanks for the assurance, Burrell--I'm well on the way to feeling like I'm stoppered up with Silly Putty and this is just one more thing to go wrong. But it would make sense that my "failing" other procedure was actually a burgeoning disc, so maybe everything can work as designed.

Repetitively and expensively...

In the meanwhile, no kettlebell.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

It's been a while since I've had bronchitis, but I remember not being a fan. Up through my late 20s, I used to get it almost annually. I'm not sure what changed, physically or environmentally, to make that happen.

-t, insent to your profile addy.

I don't see anything, Anne.

so maybe everything can work as designed.

Fingers crossed ita, I figure it's well past time for something to work as advertised.

Pneumonia once when I was in grade school, I don't remember much other than being too sick to get gifts for anyone for Xmas. My mom's story was that she'd give my sister and me aspirin to knock down our fevers and we'd start playing like kids. Then a couple hours later she'd notice the silence and go find the both of us passed out on the floor of some room napping, all sweaty and feverish.

I don't think it ever rose to the level of bronchitis, but I got a wicked cough with both pregnancies that lasted from the time it developed to the end of my pregnancy. Now I try to avoid coughs like the plague because they move in and won't budge.

A weird side effect that a friend of mine got from blood pressure medicine was a nagging cough! Once the doctor determined that's what was causing it, they switched her over to another medication and it was just fine. I'd have never figured that one out.

Well known side effect known as the "Lisinopril cough". Even if you don't have it initially you can get it up to a year after you start taking Lisinopril or other ACE inhibitors. Not a doctor, but from what I can see the cause is poorly understood, but it is a know side effect than can happen with any ACE inhibitor, especially lisinopril.

Connie, my condolences. Support vibes to you, whether you go outside or stay secluded to recover a bit.
