After I got beyond all the tears when I got the call from the doctor's office, I realized that it really was a relief to finally know what was wrong with me. Visiting a bunch of doctors who don't know what wrong with you and taking a bunch of medication that isn't doing poo-poo for you, while you keep getting worse really sucked. And I went back today to get another blast of something to keep this throat funk at bay. I really do feel ok, except just sleepy all the time! Yesterday I pushed myself to do stuff all day and I wound up feeling REALLY crappy, so I know I'll just HAVE to rest.
But I started breaking out with these weird blistery things on my fingers and hands. It looks like I burned myself, but I know I didn't and I wake up with more each day. The doctor said it's probably a reaction from all the medicines. But I'll take that over a big itchy rash or something.
Aside from all that, I've gotten to start listening to country music. I really am starting to like it... always swore I'd hate country, but it ain't so bad :o) Some of it's just downright dirty. I always thought country music was about break-ups and rain and trucks. But there's some pretty raunch stuff in there... tequila making clothes come off, old men getting propositioned by sisters in a bar, big shakin "honkey tonk" butts... not what I thought it was at all... hahaha
Anyhoo, I'm washing all my sheets because now I got the official word that it's just the mono that's contangeous, not the nasty throat funk. I know that my sheets are not really carriers of disease probably, but I just feel better washing them.
Happy Friday all! Thanks for your notes of encouragement!!
