4 Days 'til Baldrick's and still sick as a dog
Ugh. So we're officially at two weeks now that I've had this cold. I took a day off the first week, two days the second, missed a huge charity benefit that my friends were throwing that I REALLY wanted to go to...and I'm still sick.
It was just a cough for the longest while, but since I had pneumonia as a baby, I've never been able to get over chest colds well. Then the two-day migraine hit, which turned out to be not a migraine, but a horrible sinus infection that was lurking and didn't make itself known until Sunday when I was supposed to go to the charity event. The event was amazing from what I hear, and I'm so happy it was...I just so wanted to be there for it. As it was, I was lucky to be able to stand to go to the bathroom. By Monday most of the stars in my vision had dissipated, but the sinus pressure is still awful. I've been on antibiotic for three days, but it's not really helping and I still have my cough.
I'm really hoping people don't give me a hard time at work today: I'm so tired of being sick and not being able to do anything about it, and I don't need people's opinions on the matter. Another week of this and maybe my doctor will let me take some Sudafed, but she'd rather not ok it unless absolutely necessary because it's not good for the baby, so it's just me, the antibiotic, and my immune system for now. And I can't afford 2+ weeks off of work because of a cold, when I'll have all summer to fret about us living on a single income.
On another note: 4 days until I shave my head! Good lord, how time flies. I'm really hoping for some last minute donations: our team needs that final push and I really want us to hit our goal to get the foundation's match. Anyone out there interested? Not likely, but I've got to ask. I've had some surprises in my donation box for which there will be some very heartfelt thank you's, but every donation has been so appreciated.
...wonder what I'll look like bald...
