Can you call an advice line through hour insurance or as part of your benefits package? This is the sort of situation those are for, if you have access.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Atropa, I know you asked for a website and not a Steph, but discolored phlegm is usually a sign of an infection, so you might need antibiotics. And combined with shortness of breath, that's worth going to a walk-in clinic.

I am always willing to take the medical advice of a Steph!

It looks like my new insurance offers 24 hour telehealth visits (for $49, have I mentioned I hate my new insurance?), so I’ll do that.

I hope they can diagnose something and get you on effective treatment soon, Atropa.

After needing to leave the faucet dripping this time last week because it was cold enough to freeze plumbing, today I’ve had the windows open all day. It’s pleasant, but weird.

Ugh for the new insurance. Yay for Tep advice!

I have won the prize of bronchitis trending toward pneumonia. Prescriptions of prednisone, an inhaler, and cough suppressant will be mine shortly.

{{{Atropa}}} hooray for prescriptions, I think.

Ah, that bittersweet feeling when I am done with the WFH day and realize I have no food in the house. If I want dinner I will have to get dressed. It’s very much not like Downton Abbey.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Not to contradict you, -t, but there are many food delivery services specifically so you *don't* have to get dressed.

Glad you've got a diagnosis and (hopefully) good meds on the way, Atropa!
