well, I know you're all incredibly interested, so I will fill you in on all the gruesome details of my sickness. Finn & Burgundy both got sick on Wednesday (week and a half ago) and then I got it on Saturday - Valentine's Day. yay. Just feeling totally lousy - slight fever, chills, sore throat, stuffy nose, etc.
Now usually, when I get sick (in my adult years anyway) I am basically sick for a day and by day 2 I am on the mend. Must have something to do with the fact that I'm mom and I don't get a day off. But, this time has been different.
So, got it on Saturday, Sunday was bad, Monday was worst. Just lying on the couch unable to move. Then I started to perk up a bit. Thursday I had a show which I wasn't incredibly thrilled about doing, but I did it and it was fine. And I didn't feel too bad in the process. Friday I even cleaned the house. I took it a little easy, but was pretty much fine.
Now, keep in mind I have never had a sinus infection. I know my sister and mom & dad have gotten them but I never had. Well the last few times I've gotten sick, my sinuses feel quite inflamed and ouchy. The best way I can describe it is like I have dry sockets where my sinuses are. When I am lying in bed and breathing through my nose, just the air hurts my sinuses. Weird. But then it goes away.
Well, this time it didn't go away, and Friday night they were feeling pretty swollen and sore. Then Saturday morning I just basically woke up in tears. (and to say I woke up implies that I slept, which I didn't actually do that much of). I have had this darn stuffy nose all week and am completely blocked. (very unusual for it to last that long on me). So Saturday morning, I just went out and told Cody I have to go to the Urgent Care Center.
Long story longer - I went and got some mega-antibiotics and some super narcotic painkillers (which are BARELY helping). My face feels like it's going to explode. Luckily now the kids seem to be almost all better. Burgundy is still on antibiotics this week for a slight ear-infection. Ugh. Today I did do some grocery shopping but couldn't wait to get home to stay so I could take some pain pills and lie down (not supposed to drive while on them so I had to wait until after I got Finn from pre-school)
Ugh!! This is the worst "cold" ever. Started like a flu, went on to cold-like, turned into sinusitis from hell. And now I just feel swollen in the face and dizzy from medication and sickness.
So!! That's what I've been up to for the last 2 weeks. How've you been?
