This is so utterly... Unfair... untimely... and just so very wrong.
I thought that when you get medication that it is supposed to make you feel better... not worse! This darn antibiotic is so kicking my butt... they told me that it's side effects are nausea and diarrhea and that I should take it with breakfast and dinner... so that already causes an issue... as I DO NOT eat breakfast... I know, I know... its the MOST important meal of the day... but I firmly believe in not eating until you are hungry... but while I'm on this antibiotic I have to force myself to eat breakfast at 7:30 in the morning - which I think is so totally bogus and its making me feel worse! Oh well I guess I'll just have to 'suck it up Princess' and deal for the next 8 mornings.
So last night was rough... the Advair didn't help my breathing... I had another fever... I had the shivering problem again (although it wasn't as bad as the last time)... and Chris and I ended up staying up past midnight until I fell asleep on the couch. Poor Chris, he had work to do last night and didn't do it so he could sit with me and make me feel better... Sometimes I don't feel like I deserve him... he's such a good man.
I think the lack of sleep is starting to run me down too... thinking back... I haven't had a good night's sleep in a week... even with the awesomeness of NyQuil...
On the bright side... it is a long weekend, so I'll be able to sleep and nap and just relax. AND a SUPER BONUS... my mom is coming up... and no one makes you feel better like your mom right??

waiting
Ok, so I'm not the sort of gal that goes to see doctors... I mean you wait forever to see them for 2 minutes, most of which they spend reading your chart... But Tuesday had me sitting in a waiting room - by my own choice - waiting to see the clinic doctor.
I ended up having to wait for three hours... all the time listening to the receptionist telling people that the wait time was only going to be an hour... yeah... RIGHT! I mean seriously?? Why not tell people the truth instead of wasting their time? I guess it could have been worse I could have been waiting at the hospital for 8 hours right?
Anyhoo... I finally get to see the doctor (for about 4 minutes)... and guess what? He tells me I have bronchitis and that I'm wheezing like an asthmatic... and gives me a prescription for antibiotics and an Advair diskus...
To borrow a phrase from a good buddy of mine... 'this is so totally Weak Sauce man!!'
So thank you to my husband who gave me his cold/flu... and thanks to my own immune system for mutating it into something much worse.

Sick of being... well... sick!
6 days and counting... of being sick I mean. It started out as just a stomach bug, but now its congesting my lungs like a Japanese train car. I should've known though, after all my hubby had a wicked cold when I had my stomach bug and he ALWAYS shares with me... I wish he wouldn't!
Yesterday was so bad. I went to work and I just kept feeling more and more sick and by the end of the day I just wanted to crawl into bed and die... well not literally die... but definitely be dead to the world for the night.
I felt like I had a fever so when I got home I grabbed my thermometer... its battery was dead... so I grabbed the basal thermometer... its battery was also dead. Figures eh? I curled up on the sofa with my blanket in defeat... I just couldn't seem to make my feet warm up.
My darling hubby (who gave me this sickness btw) went out and got batteries for the thermometer and brought home yummy Chinese food... he's so sweet!
About the fever? yeah it was 101... but it went back down to normal by about 11.
Went to bed around midnight, but ended up waking up at 1, 2, 3 and 4 with coughing. Got out of bed at 2 to get more Kleenex and something to drink - I started shivering uncontrollably, but super weird thing is that I didn't feel cold, but I couldn't stop shaking. Even when I managed to get back into bed, it didn't stop. So weird...
Upside to this is that I think I feel a little better today... we'll just have to wait and see if it lasts!
