Note
(sick)
Saw GP. She prescribed antibiotics to hold onto & only start taking if no big improvement in next 4 days. But also, she gave me a 5-day intensive course of steroids. These are banned in competition season for athletes, so I can't do any races. Deary me. If you want to dob me in, go ahead. I put health above sport right now. I should be clear of them in my blood by this time next week-ish.
If I'm still coughing in 2 weeks (which will make 6 weeks in all), I am to go for a chest X-ray. Frankly I could do with one now - some countries give them annually, especially for those with a history of respiratory illness
If any of my "rivals" are reading this, bear in mind I'm going to be convalescing for at least a month. Not doing JK so next big race is British in April.
On a happier note, spent 1st nite in new house last night - no cats, and I'd cleaned it, and my breathing was a lot better - woke without headache, bad cough or blocked sinuses. Really good sign. I have MASSES to do - here I come, IKEA, Wickes, B&Q, ASDA ..... Mr DIY man :)
The Spanish lodger was there, luckily he didn't murder me in the night - today, I move him out (in my car). Hurrah!
