I'm coughing

They are over the counter vitamins... maybe they will let you get some or they have some?

Even over the counter stuff has to be on my MAR for me to take.

Edit:
I'm on melatonin for instance. Had to be prescribed. As had allergy meds that are over the counter. Cough syrup and Tyenol are on my MAR as a PRN along with a slew of other over the counter meds. I can take those. But if it's not on my MAR I can't take it

It's bronchitis and I have to wait till tomorrow to get my antibiotics cuz the group home gets meds shipped here. The guy did not tell the group home manager how long I need to be out of work so I'll be calling tomorrow morning to be sure but he did say if it was pneumonia to be on antibotics for a full 24 hours before going back to work and even tho it's bronchitis imma go with that unless the doctor tells me differently when I call tomorrow

I had pneumonia back about 10 years ago. Not fun.

Glad it's 'just' bronchitis. Pneumonia sucks.

I dont think my lungs are supposed to make a weird fluid sound and feel like they trying to do jumping jacks or like they trying to escape.

The extreme, extreme fatigue and the fever dreams is mostly what I remember...

I am glad i do not have
pneumonia. Ido know it's often worse then bronchitis. But this bronchitis is rough.

My doctor has put in an order for a multivitamin to be on my MAR. Told me he would anyway. We will see if it's on there.

Is it a dry cough or are you bringing up phlegm? Bronchitis will give you green or yellow phlegm. An expectorant might help you clear the mucus from your lungs. That helps me a lot when I get bronchitis.

Bring up phlegm. I do not know if an expectorant is on my MAR as a PRN. I'd have to see. Some cough medicine is so it's likely. I will say I have antibiotics coming in today they have been put on my MAR but I don't know when they'll arrive today and if I'd be able to take it today.
Depends on how it shows up on my MAR. If it's for the morning and it don't arrive by 8 I won't be able to take it today. If it's nighttime meds I might be able to take it.

Edit: talking to staff turns out it wasn't on my MAR last night cuz the doctors knew it wouldn't arrive by then. So I had to rewrite this.

Ok here's what the doctor sent me this morning when I asked about how long i should be out of work:
We should probably keep you out through at least today. Hopefully feeling better seen with medication and can get back tomorrow. No need for antibiotics at the moment. As long as you are fever free should be okay to work but would generally recommend wearing a mask for the next few days. However I do not mind giving you a few more days if you feel like you need it



I guess the meds aren't antibiotics like I thought. But there is some meds coming today he did prescribe me some
