Entertaining the Masses

The doctor walked into the room and asked where the dolphins were.

"What dolphins?" I asked.

And I proceeded to click, whistle, and squeak. From my sinuses.

"Oh. That. That would be me."

"I'd say you have a sinus infection," she said.

Then I started barking like a seal. The cough, you know.

The doc asked me a few questions and I attempted to answer. I sounded like a dying sea gull.

$85 later, I'm on antibiotics and sprays and have cute little pieces of paper indicating that I have sinusitis and bronchitis. And I amused everyone at Urgent Care with my stunning impressions of ocean animals.

Hope you get to feeling better soon. And $85 isn't too bad, really. I think around here it would total closer to $125 for diagnosis and meds.

See, even at a time like this, you have found a hidden talent. I bet it only cost you $85 because of the entertainment you provided.

Sinus infections suck! I've had my share. Here's hoping you get better real soon!

Get well soon, Goddess! Speaking of odd noises, you should have heard our house last winter, when my wife and I both had whooping cough. For two months.
