Sick

I'm tired of being sick!! I stayed home from work today to rest. I was treated for a sinus infection about 4-5 weeks ago and apparently the 10 days of antibiotic didn't quite kill it. I have been coughing my head off everyday since. Then earlier this week I started getting stuffy again. I finally had enough of it yesterday and booked myself an appointment with my doctor. He compared my sinus infection to swamp fires in Florida. He said that they get fires in the south from dry leaves continuously getting all packed down. You think you get the fire out, but deep down there are coals still smoldering underneath. This leads to another fire that starts hundreds of feet away. And, that is the way it is with my sinus infection. I finished the antiobiotic, and started feeling better, but didn't quite get it all "put out", so it flared up again. He put me on some heavy duty antiobiotics that he says cost about $80 a pill. Luckily, for me he gave me samples. He says that if I don't feel better after taking it for six days, to let him know and he will either give me some more or write a prescription for some of the same antiobiotic I took before to finish it off. He also said that I was his 7th patient of the day coming in with sinus crud. Welcome to spring in Iowa!!

So, I'm hoping to get some rest today. My head and body ache from coughing so much. I've got to get feeling better. I have way too many things to do this month. One party down last week and 2 this weekend. Not to mention Easter! Brian's sister turns 50 and so does a friend of ours. One party Friday night the next on Saturday. We then hope to be back from the Saturday night one in time to go have Easter dinner with his family and then supper with mine. Sure wish the rest of my family was here to celebrate with us....hint, hint!
