soooo...
i have bronchitis
got the flu christmas eve
turned into bronchitis on wednesday
wednesday was soooo bad
i am anti going to the doctor, anti-medicine, and most definitely anti-shot
but i woke up with the most severe nausea, pain, dizziness, etc. that i have ever encountered in my life and i felt like i was dying
so, i made my mom drive me to the doctor
the nurse tried to give me a shot to fight the nausea... i resisted that and didnt get that.
the doctor wanted to give me the shot again, a topical creme to help with the nausea, and 3 other meds including one that is a steroid/barbarite/caffeine in it. haha. i wonder what that would do to me. no thank you. she also wanted to give me an anti-biotic.... for a virus... yeah... no.... and then she wanted to give me an inhaler which wasn't that necessary.
so, i told my mom just to skip out on all the meds and just get me Tylenol Cold & Sinus. and that works like a charm. it's working.
no fever. no more sinus pressure. no more aches. no more nausea. all i have left is the bad congestion which is breaking up as we speak. and i can speak. i haven't had a voice the past two days. and i can talk now.
tomorrow, a group of us are supposed to be going to Kemah and then to Galveston for a bonfire. At the rate I'm healing, I'll most likely be able to go as long as I bundle up in warm clothes. so, i'm happy about that.
i've never had the flu and didn't know how fast it would hit me or progress to bronchitis so fast. glad i went to the doc before it turned to pneumonia. i've heard that isn't fun at all.
my bestie has been inisiting on coming over to keep me company all week and i've insisted that he not be stupid enough to come over and then get sick too. but, if my mom thinks it's ok, i told him that he can come over and watch Princess Bride with me tonight because we both love that movie. so, if my mum thinks it's alright, he'll be allowed to come over to watch the movie and, in turn, had kept me company. haha. silly crazy boy.
that's a quick update.
hope all of you had a splendid holiday :)
