On the upswing to feeling better
Thank God, because the last five days have been brutal and now I think better ones are ahead.
The week of Thanksgiving I thought I had a sinus infection so I saw a PA at work that confirmed that it looked like one was starting. He perscribed some antibiotics and I got it the script to the pharmacy, but I never picked up the meds because I hate taking antibiotics. I usually get a yeast infection when I take them so I decided that if by Black Friday I was feeling just as bad I would go pick them up.
I felt OK so I didn't pick them up. But I still felt lousy. I figured that whatever I had was slow to leave, but in reality it was slowly heading south to my lungs. By last Sunday I could hardly breath, it felt like a ton of bricks were just sitting on my chest, the head congestion came back, along with a cough, and a lot of flowing nastiness. And to top it all off D caught it as well.
(I should mention that right after Thanksgiving E got sick as well, and he usually doesn't get sick, so either we've just been passing it back and forth to each other or I'm giving it to everyone.)
E stayed home to care for us on Monday but Tuesday and Wednesday were the worst. All D and I could do is cough on each other, cry and sleep. Oh, and watch that dang "Cars" movie. More about that movie on a different day! But Wednesday night I started to feel like I was about to live and yesterday we even ventured out of the house. I can tell that D feels better too. I felt so bad for him when he came running to me saying "Oww, oww" clutching his chest and wheezing. Poor baby!
I never did go pick up my antibiotics. But next time I need them I won't try to be tough, I'll just get them suckers and take them.
Maybe.
