Did you hear that?

After yet another restless and cough filled night, I decided to call Dr. B and get myself and appointment..PRONTO. I told Gloria I was wheezing and she fit me in right away. :)

I get there and have to wait. There is no one in the waiting room, and yet I am waiting. Oh well. Then the cutest little boy with a cold comes in with his mom. He's coughing and sneezing and came up to me a few times to say "hi". SO CUTE! He was running around and drops his equally cute stuffed puppy. As he bends over to pick it up, he farts. It was so cute that I could almost ignore the poopie sour milk smell it left behind.

Finally I get in to see Dr. B. We go through my symptoms. He tells me that the last time I saw him was last September with the same stuff. We go through this process EVERY year. Next year when I go see him in October, he will tell me he last saw me in December and go through the whole thing again. :) It's our thing.

He goes to take my blood pressure on my left arm. He sees my USC ring and we strike up a conversation about USC. His son goes there, he's a freshman majoring in Architecture. He's thinking of switching to Engineering. I miss USC. I fell in love with that campus the moment I step foot on it during my senior year of high school. I probably bleed cardinal and gold.

I left there with new allergy medicine, a nasal spray, a refill of my inhaler, a steroid, an antibiotic, and a cough medicine with codeine....

It's a battle between A and E!

Bring it on. :)
(well, it'd actually be more like, can he accept open ended problems, or does he need concrete answers)
