So, in between the wonderful dishwasher issues I've been having, I've also had a bad cold. Fairly typical cold for me - Sore Throat proceeds to Nasal
Congestion proceeds to Cough That Lasts Forever. That cough is aggravated by a case of pneumonia I had 15 years ago - ever since then, when I start to cough,
it *always* gets so bad I tear up my throat at least once before I start to get better.
Well, this time, in the truly bad cough period, I feel a sort of pop in my lower abdomen. It wasn't bad, and didn't bother me aside for some minor
discomfort. Of course, my wife immediately thinks it's a hernia.
I call our provincial health line, and they panic over the phone and tell me to see a doctor right away. So I go see my doctor (who is a good friend to my
family), sees me, and tells me:
"It's a torn muscle. It's go away in a couple weeks. Tell the f***ing health line to f*** off, and stop diagnosing things over the phone."
At which point I laugh so hard I fall out of the chair.
