I hate being sick

Mar 07, 2006 15:36

About a month ago, a deep, dry cough took up residence in my lungs. As of today, it's showing no signs of moving out any time soon. Now, I normally get a cough with my cold - it has something to do with being an asthmatic, and having a severe case of bronchitis in high school - but my colds usually only last about a week. The coughing's been keeping me up at night and any time I try to sleep during the day.

I would have been concered earlier, if I'd had the time. Both girls were sick. Pinnie had a cold, and then the stomach flu. Beanie was teething and has cut six or eight teeth all at once. Neither of them were eating or sleeping, so I wasn't sleeping. That may be part of why I got the flu, too. I had to make Ruggy call in sick two days so he could take care of the girls - I certainly wasn't capable of doing it.

To make a long story short, everyone's recovered but me, so I took myself to the ER last night. The good doctor didn't hear much pneumonia in my lungs, and gave me some antibiotics just in case I have a secondary infection somewhere. (They may or may not make me feel better.) The diagnosis? "Walking pnuemonia, caught early." Joy. At least I can still function.

...I think we'll have a stir-fry tonight. :)

On the upside, our new, white bathroom countertop, faucets and medicine cabinet came in. Ruggy's already installed the counter and faucet. It looks lovely, and is a wonderful conclusion to "Operation Anti-beige." My bathroom is *finished!* The medicine cabinet's for the upstairs powder room, to replace the useless mirror above the sink. Whee! I can hardly wait.
