Well I first started feeling bad last Tuesday while we were camping.  It started after a poor night sleeping and a slight tickle in my throat, then a sore throat, and coughing, with a runny nose.  Since then I developed a really sore throat, a barking cough, and my nose stopped running and my head was very congested.  I thought that it was just a virus and it would pass, but after 5 days and no improvement I decided to head to the doctor.

Now that poses a problem.  I don’t have a GP (General Practitioner or Family Doctor), I have lots of specialists, even a few midwives, but no general care person.  I tried a few doctors and clinics and no one could get me in, one of them for several weeks, so on the advice of the midwives and my cousin I went to one of the urgent care walk in clinics.  Pacific Walk In Clinic.  They were really good, there wasn’t much of a wait at all, I was in and back home in about an hour.

The verdict is a sinus infection and bronchitis.  Lovely.  So hopefully in a couple of days with the antibiotics and inhaler I will be feeling better.  Actually after taking my first doses today and a nap I was feeling better, I even made dinner tonight, homemade pizza.  It would be nice to be better, we have a wedding on Saturday!
