Good morning!!!!

[jinman]

I finally gave up and went to the doctor this morning for my cold and cough. It's killing me, up half the night hacking away, low-grade fever coming and going, no energy during the day. Got a prescription for azithromycin antibiotic. I hope it helps because I'm tired of watching decent outdoor work days get away.

Dave, the anti-biotic will only help with bacterial infection. Normally, they just give you steriods to make you feel better until the cold passes. I've started challenging the use of anti-biotics every time I see a doctor. I respond really well to steriods.

Something about their 230 million dollar salary might have something to do with it. Although they also have Alex that is a real deal!!!

I won't get into the Yankee / Red Sox debate but as a Yankee fan I always said Alex would have done better in Red! Can't take the pressure it's all Boone's fault he had to go play basket ball and blow his career!

A-rod was money pissed away. The Yanks don't spend like papa George did, anymore. It's total rebuild time for them. Jeter is a super class act as is Andy Pettitte. So was Bernie Williams and Jorge, but like all contenders, they've had their share of A-holes, like A-rod. The rebuild could take a year! LOL

Agree my son is a lefty pitcher playing college now. He grew up watching Pettite, Moose and one of his favored Yankee knuckle heads David Welles. The farm needs to be worked on they traded much of the future away for has beens. Seemed to forget where Jeter, Pettite, Moe, Jorge and Williams came from.

Another Larro Ranchero sunset. The sun just keeps going down, at least once a day.

A lot of my symptoms matched with pertussis/whooping cough which is bacterial. I had a tetanus/pertussis booster vaccination back in 2011, so that may have lessened the severity. For several days I had to hold my ribs when coughing. They and my stomach muscles felt like I went three rounds with Mohammed Ali. :laughing:

Colds are viral but I think bronchial infections are not always a virus. I understand about the overuse of antibiotics but I have to try something cause I ain't improving much on my own. It's a short (5 days), powerful dose.

Dave, I see Boston pulled it out. Congrats. Hope you feel better.
