Neil and I finally dragged our sick butts to the doctor yesterday. The good news is that we're not dying. Yet. Doc gave us prescriptions for antibiotics and nasal sprays to help with the congestion. I am pretty sensitive about my schnoz. It's a rare day that I am okay with sticking something up there, but after the last so many days of misery, I was happy to shove that plastic tube up there and squirt-squirt. Sweet mercy, just a few minutes later I was rewarded with my first clear breaths in days.
Today, we're both feeling a little better. Still not 100%, but any improvement is cause for celebration. I think we've crested the hill and it's just coasting from here on out.
So that's my update, meager and boring though it is. Happy Mother's Day to all of my mommy peeps out there! I hope the day brings you all of the joys you deserve!
*Another picture of me. That's twice in one week. Alert the media. Please feel free NOT to tell me how bad I look in this one. I wouldn't normally post a photo that I don't look fabu in, but I thought this one was interesting. Also, you can just see the Poison Ivy on my right arm. Because it wouldn't be enough that I just had the flu. Oh no, I had to get Poison Ivy for the first time in my life at the same time.
Happy Mother's Day! Enjoy your nose spray!
ReplyDeleteI am just so glad that you went to the dr.!! Forgive me, but I was praying you WEREN'T dying, of like the swine flu, God Forbid!
ReplyDeleteAntibiodics...yay!!! I am so happy! They are in there right now killing the bad stuff, and you guys will be feeling better soon!!!!
Happy Mother's Day to you too!!
Oh I can see your misery. Hoping the meds kick in soon.

OMG AND poison ivy? How much can one person take? You look good in the pic, even if you ARE miserable. lol.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found some meds! Hope you get better soon! I feel so bad for you! Try and enjoy mothers day. :)
Wow, best Mother's Day ever for you, eh? *hugs*
ReplyDeleteThese are the weeks which will keep everything in perspective moving forward.
ReplyDeleteHope the meds help make this a Happy Mother's Day!!!
Two illnesses at once? That sucks.
ReplyDeleteI hope mother nature takes pity on you, as a fellow mama, on Mother's Day, and helps you heal quickly!
Ooooh! You look PURTY!
ReplyDeleteSucky for Mother's Day, but I wish you one, anyway.
Get better, sickling.
Poison ivy & a bacterial infection? Well, that just sucks ass! Something good HAS to be coming your way! I'm glad you're on the mend-being sick is awful, I know. :)
ReplyDeleteglad you are all on the mend - I think you passed it to us over the web!!
ReplyDeleteI was actually thinking that you are looking pretty good to have been sick for so long. Actually, you look pretty good, period. Sincerely!
ReplyDeleteNasal Spray (the Rx kind--like Nasonex) is Scott's miracle drug--he gives it to ALL his patients. I don't care if a patient comes to see him with a mole that needs cutting off, or for a pelvic exam...they will leave with a baggie full of nasal spray. True story.
Love the camera angle of that pic, and how Sophie is right by your side, being mother's little helper. At least I'm SURE that's what she's doing right? I hope you're on the mend!
ReplyDeleteHun, you look way better than I do when I'm sick.
ReplyDeleteBoy, talk about adding insult to injury. Poison Ivy? I'm soooooo sorry.....
Have the drugs kicked in yet? I hope you're on the mend!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I hope that you were able to enjoy Mother's Day despite the sickness. You really look miserable. Oh, my bad, you look a little worn out but still beautiful. :-)
ReplyDeleteFeel better!
Aw, poor you. Glad you can breathe now, though. I hope you get a Mother's Day do-over!
ReplyDeleteoh how I love the relief when I can breathe normally again. Very happy you're on the mend
ReplyDeletehi Cara, just saying hello.....
