So I have this residual cough and went to the doctor yesterday at the insistence of my mother. I feel almost normal again but she doesn't believe me. Turns out I don't need antibiotics according to the doc, just 5 days of cough syrup and I need to get a flu shot when I'm well, but if my mother had her way I'd be in a freakin' bubble all day and night with all sorts of medications being pumped into my vein. ::) 

She even thinks I'm downplaying my terminal illness just to not be prescribed anything, and got mad at me for not coming back with antibiotics.  ::)

Good to hear that your doctor knows better than to prescribe antibiotics for what was likely a viral infection that you've mostly recovered from.  :smilenod:

I know, but it can get a little annoying at times.

When I was a kid I was given loads of antibiotics for every little thing, but that was before the superbug scare.

How did you get a picture of me and green?
Have you taken over control of my our webcam?
We don't have a webcam.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.
