Back to the doc I go

While I am marginally better than I was this time last week (after round 1 of the "prednisone and an antibiotic from column B") I am still in pretty much constant discomfort from shortness of breath and a constant need to cough. I'm waking up between 2 and 3 AM in need of my rescue meds every night.

So I called the pulmo and she's squeezing me in at noon. She was talking about a chest x-ray, which I don't think is needed. We DID one of those last year and it's fine. I'm reasonably sure that this is simply asthma symptoms that we can't seem to control with anything we've tried so far.

anyone want a dvd player for $9.99?

I got my coupons for the digital converter thingie the other day.

(My main TV already has a digital converter in the DVDr, but I might want to add another TV in the bedroom or office, so I requested the coupons anyway)

They give you $40 towards a converter box.

I went to Amazon.com and looked at their eligible machines, and some of them were combo dvd players and converters, for only $49.99 with free shipping.

So for a net of $9.99 I now have a DVD player coming.

And if you haven't already and you have an older TV (or might want to get a cheap TV later) go ahead and get your coupons.
