The Plague

Ok, so officially we've all succumbed to what I affectionately call "The Plague" and I totally blame our new Joey for bringing tracheobronchitis (or 'kennel cough') to our abode. We were ALL fine until he came along and now from me down to Frankie we're all sniffling, coughing, hacking, sneezing, stuffy messes. I didn't even know it was contagious from our four-legged friends, but apparently 'tis so. Or I just think so. So, it's either 'The Plague' or 'Mange' mainly because they both sound rather dire and dastardly hee hee heeee! At least I still have some humor.

In all seriousness, the dogs have tracheobronchitis while we peeps have sinus infections of the most vile order. Mine is probably already pneumonia now at this point. Luckily the girls have health insurance so I'll take them in tomorrow or Tuesday and get some antibiotics for them. As for me - this is why my yearly sinus infection turns into black lung and persists for a month or so. *sigh* maybe I can get into the school clinic and get a 'scrip, too. *fingers crossed!*
