Texas | Well, I am sick again. :(
If you have read my previous posts, skip to the next paragraph. If not, or if you want a refresher; here is the backstory: A handful of days into January, I started feeling sick. After trying unsuccessfully to fight it at home for several days, I went to the doctor. I was diagnosed with Strep Throat and given a shot. I had gotten so run down that it took me several weeks to recover. By the start of last week, I was very close to being normal again. Now for the current update.
Nearing this weekend, my sore throat returned. Fearing that my Strep Throat was returning, I went to the doctor. The Strep Test came back negative, so I have recovered from that, but now I have a sinus infection. I am so sick of being sick!
The doctor prescribed me 7 days of antibiotics, but also gave me a list of OTC medicines that might work if I wanted to avoid using antibiotics. The OTC option had drowsiness as a side effect. Since I have been sick for about half of 2020-to-date, I have fallen very behind on work. That has caught up with me and is creating some issues. I appreciated the alternative option, but I need this knocked out ASAP, not played with. I decided to fill my antibiotic prescription.
Currently 2 days into my pills. Feeling marginally better, but a box of tissues is still my near constant companion. I so desperately want my health back!
Trying to find some positives in this, and I have come up with a few. The sinus infection has not drained me near as severely as the Strep Throat did, so I am still somewhat functional. Interestingly, my weight did not drop with the Strep Throat, but I am down about 2 pounds with the sinus infection. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are lasting in the freezer for more than 2 days.
My goal of the week is to get caught up on all of my non-travel work. That goal is definitely lofty, but at least I am aiming for something.
Picture: My sorta cute pills. (See, I am trying to think positive thoughts.)
