Sick :(

Wow...I'm kind of wondering if this is like the plague. I've been sick since Sunday. I started feeling sick after Sacrament meeting, and actually was wondering if I was going to have a seizure. I sat on the couch in the foyer, and ended up consuming the entire couch as I progressively felt worse. When Mom finished up her substitute library duties she drove me home. We all had piled in the car, so we didn't have a 2nd car at church. Not that I could've driven anyways. 


Monday, Tues., and Wed. I felt like death. I went into the County clinic on Tues. morning to get an appt. When I went back in later in the afternoon for some odd reason, I didn't even have a sniffle. I don't know if the cold air helped my cough. The Dr. said she felt I had an upper respiratory infection and it was probably viral. She said to call back on Monday if I wasn't improving. 


Thursday came and I decided call in Friday morning if I still felt like death. I called Friday, and though my Dr. wasn't there, someone else put the prescription in for me at Walmart. I got Arithromycin 250 mg, Z-Pack. Within 30 min. I felt considerably better after taking it. But to be sure it wasn't just the placebo effect, I continued to take extra strength sudafed 120 mg (apparently you can get the good stuff over the counter, but behind the counter!). 


I slept SOOO WELL!!! I can't believe how much quality sleep I got. 


I'm feeling progressively better each day, though I'm still short of breath. Can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It is unfortunately going around the family, so I just pray I don't get it back--since my immune system is in the gutter.
