It hurts to breathe in, it hurts to cough and it hurts to swallow.. really bad. I've been backed off to 8 hours for percocet from 4 when I was released from the hospital to get me off it and the accumulation of this bronchitis and the regular symptoms is just about near intolerable. Right now I feel GREAT because I just took both drugs at once, which I normally do to go to sleep, but am not looking forward to three hours from now. I can just imagine a man with less discipline going through this. Lord knows I can take it sooner if I wanted to, too. No one keeps track of my pills anymore, because I've honored my regimen all this time. And I'm allowed to take it at four hours if the pain is too much. But I can't do it all the time, and if I do it once, what about tomorrow? This is every day until this bronchitis goes away. All from sitting for 45 minutes in a fucking free clinic lobby for a check up for my Medicaid case. Next time I go there, it's in a plastic bubble.
