A first…

Well, I had another first in my life today.  Chest X-Rays!

I went to the Walk-in Clinic this morning complaining of a hacking cough.  Since my sister and brother-in-law came down with pneumonia I was worried that I had something like that.  So the Dr. ordered X-Ray’s to be safe. 

The technician had to take more slides than usual because, “Tall people like you with long longs don’t fit on the film.”  Never knew I had long lungs.  Blame my Viking ancestors, I guess.  They needed big lungs to row those ships and also yell for help when Olga was upset with the cheap loot brought back from a raid on Ireland.  No wonder I always won the “holding your breath under water contest” at the local pool.

After all was said and done – I have some allergies causing post-nasal drip which makes me cough and clear my throat plus causes some hoarseness.  It is that time of year in Sheboygan again.  The good news – Spring must be here since I must start with the antihistamine meds again.  O joy…
