Diagnosis

My work is the best. Yesterday they arranged things so that I didn't have to come in. Given that I was already dressed and out of the house I made an impromptu trip to the doctor. Turns out that my cold (upper respiratory infection) is coupled with tonsillitis and ear infections (yes, both ears). The sudafed I was taking for congestion raised my blood pressure to dangerous levels, thus I had to stop taking it and have to go back to the office tomorrow for a follow-up visit. I was prescribed antibiotics and a cocktail to make up for the sudafed - mucinex, tylenol, and zicam.
