I woke up on Wednesday (a week ago) with a sore throat painful enough that I could not get back to sleep. I suffered through work and crashed early. It didn't clear up. I struggled through the rest of the week on TheraFlu and Sucrets.

I did the Dim Sum thing on Saturday, made it through the movie, a quick mission of mercy to the_malum and then crashed ( Read more... )

Oh, hey, quickie PSA, if you felt the midwest earthquake today, you should go to the GSPS and report what you experienced.

In other news, the sore throat is slightly less painful, but otherwise my cold lingers on. Feh. I hate being sick.

Sometimes when I am not feeling well, I find that metabolic resources that would normally be allocated to, say, brainpower, get diverted to prop up my immune system.

So, a minute ago I looked out the kitchen window. The curb was on an angle relative to the window frame. And I felt dizzy. Like the world was tilting.

Because apparently my immune ( Read more... )

First, the random:
Munchkinry is universal - It's one of those fake motivator posters, but the content is priceless.

dance of the flight attendant - just kind of pretty.

Skyrates - it's a web based trading game in beta. Kind of addictive actually. Furries flying planes!

Government Bureau of Superheroics - because.

Seems fortunate that my oral surgeon has my work number. Their office called to ask if I could come in on Friday at 8am instead of 10am, and I was all "I have to what when now? What?" I made an appointment to have them pop an implant in a few months ago - usually I always drop these things right into my google calendar, and apparently I spaced.

As I was heading back to my car after work, I got a call from the doctor's office. It seems the doctor saw my x-rays, scrawled something in the corner about a cluster in the upper right quadrant, and wants to try a different antibiotic. So now I have ten days of Levaquin.

So apparently the theory now is that it is too bacterial, but a resistant ( Read more... )

So, since the cough still hadn't gone away, I went back to see the doctor again today.

The nurse opined it's something viral. The doctor ordered bloodwork (taken in office) and a chest x-ray (which I got done after work) and a methylprednisolone dosepak (which I filled after I hit the x-ray place). I also picked up some guaifenesin on general ( Read more... )

Last Friday I went to see the doctor and he gave me a scrip for those antibiotics that come on a little card and that if that didn't work I could come back for xrays.

They didn't work. So I have an appointment to see the doc again tomorrow.

When I was little, I had the croup, which is about as sick as I ever remember being as a kid. Always ( Read more... )

Clearly Mom should have kept the receipt for these lungs, cause they need to be exchanged for a pair that aren't defective! Oh, who am I kidding? I probably voided the warrantee in there somewhere. At least I can be one of those rambly old people who goes on about minor ailments.

Remember how I went home sick a couple of weeks ago. Well, I'm ( Read more... )

No, really. This is adorable.

In other news, I feel mildly like crap. I am considering going home. I really only feel mildly like crap, but it's clear that I am not just tired, but having the first edge of something. Right now, it's just watery eyes, achey/ ( Read more... )
