Drink more water....

My husband is insanely healthy. I'm not sure if it's because he's got such a great immune system, which he does, or if it's because his stubborn streak is such that even germs just give up and pick on someone else.

Like me. Now I don't get sick very often, and then just the occasional cold. However, it never fails that when I do fall ill, I can count on my caring and oh-so-helpful husband to dispense this doctorly advice: "Have you tried drinking more water?" So I knew it was serious when he told me that he was worried and would I please see a doctor?

At first I resisted, feeling very much like I had taken up too much screen time in a Twilight Zone episode involving doctor's offices that are impossible to escape. But I went, and wound up with a not so confident diagnosis of Bronchitis.

At least he didn't tell me to drink more water this time....

I got diagnosed with that a while back.
Did the first round of antibiotics. Nothing.
Second round: nothing.
Didn't go back to get more, and it went away on its own.

I'm sorry it hit you so hard, but kind of relieved that I'm not the only one. And by the way, last night my hubs asked me if I'd been drinking enough water! lol
