Giving in

As much as it chagrins me, I actually broke down today and called the
doctor. I have been battling this on and off cold for almost 2 weeks
now. It has seemed to go away a couple of times, only to come roaring
back. The last couple of days the situation has worsened, as now I
have a slight cough and my ears feel blocked; my nose seems to be
permanently congested, making my voice even more nasal than usual!
I guess I was putting off a medical visit as my old doctor has been out
of the picture since last fall, when he packed up and moved to a town
more than an hour away. It was only earlier this month that I actually
had my files transferred to the new doctor that I have picked for my
husband and myself. It will be weird to have a new guy examining me
after being with my previous doc for over 15 years. Oh well, guess it
is time to move on, I just wonder if I can build up as comfortable a
personal rapport with the new guy as I had with the old doc. Time
will tell, right now, this cold/flu/whatever it is has got to go!
