I usually try to just post about things that make me laugh or are positive in other ways. For that reason it has been hard for me to think of something to post about in the last few weeks. I have been quite sick and it has been consuming me. It started with a sinus infection. I couldn't breathe through my nose at all. The swelling in my sinuses was making it hard for me to breathe through my mouth as well. I went to the doctor and got an antibiotic. I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic, but not before I had taken enough to open the floodgates that were once clogged. Now I could feel congestion in my lungs and was coughing, sneezing, tired, achy, etc. I was pretty miserable. Then I got an intense sore throat and ear aches. I went back to the doctor, only to be told that it looked like I had a pretty bad cold. The strep test came back negative. I was annoyed. I just want to feel better. He said if I still had a sore throat in a week to come back and be tested for mono. I started to feel a little better through the week, but the sore throat came back for the weekend. I went to the doctor again today. It was a different doctor at the same office. She said that she didn't think it was mono, but more likely something like walking pneumonia. She gave me a new antibiotic. I should be back to normal pretty soon. For those of you that have seen me in the last 2-3 weeks, don't worry. My kids went through their illness a couple of weeks ago, and since then they have been fine. So I don't think I'm passing the germs anymore. And Josh hasn't been sick at all, and I kiss him the most.
So, what is normal? I've been trying to figure that out for a while now, so when you get there, let me know. :-) Hope you get feeling better quickly. This really has been going on too long.
