So, today is my 74th birthday, and I’m little under the weather with a chest infection. Not sure if there’s any connection to the endoscopy I had performed 5 days ago, but I’ve been coughing up bloody sputum. Did my first ever telemedicine call with my PCP’s office, and they prescribed an antibiotic and a steriod, which can make me drowsy, so no driving. Anyway, I’m skipping my “ride my age” outing, but probably would have anyway due the poor air quality due to the Sahara dust. On the positive side, they finally got around to requireing masks inside businesses, so I’ll feel a bit safer when shopping at the market. I’d really like to have more birthdays, and survive until there’s an effective vaccine.
