[Magdalen] Still sick

[Susan Hagen]

I'm back from the doctor's.  I have a definite sinus infection and a
possible mycoplasma infection that is trying to become pneumonia.  I
had that a few years ago and it was misery.  Anyway, I'm waiting to
pick up an antibiotic and a cough mixture from the pharmacy.  Mucinex
= guiafensin which is what I'm allergic to and it's in almost all OTC
cough meds.
