It's Monday night, April 14, and the tax service in Rapid City which did my income taxes last year called to inquire if I was in good shape for this year. In great shape actually! I'm getting a refund for the first time in so many working years that I can't even remember what a refund is like. I just wish I had filed in January instead of two weeks ago! . . . . .
I've been hacking and coughing and feeling lousy and having a hard time sleeping for at least two weeks, so today, after a weekend when the right side of my chest started to hurt each time I inhaled, I went to a doctor. Pneumonia, of course! Ten sickly yellow Levaquin pills cost me $115; I suppose I should be thankful that my trusty prescription insurance paid $19 of the total cost. (I wonder which presidential candidate will fix this issue!) I also have to have a CATscan of my chest in Yankton tomorrow morning since some blood figures were alarmingly high, according to the doctor's nurse. They assured me the cause is probably the pneumonia, but they want to be sure that it's not a pulmonary something-or-other. So this adventure continues at least for another day. I'd be satisfied for now if my first of 10 pills would stop my coughing. . . . . .
So life goes on for at least another day!
