Attack of the killer phlegm update: still phlegmy. Also intermittently feverish. Taking lots of decongestants and Tylenol and a new antibiotic. Want to lie in the dark forever and never come out. Any advice for curing this condition would be heartily welcomed.
I am not a good patient. I spend half the time feeling sorry for myself and the rest convinced that I'm actually dying of something my (new, now with less hobo) doctor didn't notice.
I'm no Elizabeth Edwards, in short.
About that: I was totally shocked that he's continuing to campaign, but when I think about it, there's like ten months still before the first primary vote. And they've done this before, they know how much work this part of the campaign is. Why not keep his hat in the ring and let her get into treatment? There's plenty of time to quit later if they feel like it would be better this way.
Mostly, I feel terrible for their kids. And I keep running this cinematic scenario where she dies (God forbid and all) on the eve of the election and he's voted in on a wave of sympathy. Warped but true.
