green snot, and what it means
Good day.
But I'm getting a cold again, just as my New York cold was exiting. I simply can't go through that again, so I decided to make a doctor's apointment now, instead of later. To my delight, there was an opeining today, so
I went to the doctor and found out many facinating things:
Green snot - all it means is that your white blood cell count is up, ie, your body is fighting something. They used to think it meant you had a bacterial infection as well as a cold, but now that's out the window.
Drink lots of water and get a humidifier (knew that)
There is a free clinic right next to my school that tests for all kinds of worrysome things, for 'free' of course. Thx RedRhodes, for the LJ push on that one.
I need glasses!!! I know I've been saying I want them, but that was more of a style mark than anything else. Now, I'm gonna be stuck with em for the rest of my life. I have noticed it's been harder for me to read things as of late. But it was a real shock to fail that eye chart test. It turns out it's only my left eye that is muffed up. The right one has been working overtime to make up for it. That's why I don't notice it all the time.
