So much and yet nothing at all!

So much time and so many things happened since the last post, yet really, nothing at all has been going on.

Got sick. Wiat - been sick...since xmas, so really, it just finally came to a head. I woke up with a terrible sore throat on Sunday, Feb. 24th. Had no voice on Monday, Feb 25th and went to the after hours clinic on Tues. the 26th - no voice and raging sinuses. Dr. at after hours clinic said I have a virus, and couldn't do anything for me.

They wouldn't let me come to work - pregnant women and sick people I was told don't go well together. So, I spent 4 days working from home. Luckily, I can do that.

Still had no voice a week later and the coughing started full force. I was back to work on Monday, March 3rd, with the sales and marketing manager in a whole other office coming out periodically to play "Catch the Lung" with me because everytime I coughed, I coughed until I vomited and he was convinced that I was going to cough up a lung.

Got my voice back on Wed. March 5th, but I just felt worse and worse - nasal drips and cough got worse too.

Friday, March 7th, I coudln't even get out of bed. I called the boss to say that I just can't get it going this morning, but I'll be in as soon as I could. 2 hours later I got in and the boss looked at me and said - you've got to go get checked out again. I think your have pneumonia.

So, I called and luckily got in to the after hours clinic at 3pm and sure enough, I've got a sinus infection and pneumonia. :(

The meds they gave me - the cough medicine I can't take. I did the first 2 days and it worked well, but it has codeine in it and that started to give me those stabbing pains again. So, off I come of that and I think I've got to get a medic alert bracelet for allergic to codeine.

The anti-biotics are going well though! But there are 14 days of it. Why do I get 14 days when other people are getting 3 days of a super pill? Not fair.

I selpt the entire day on Saturday the 8th. I was literally up for 3 hours total scattered throughout the day!

Sunday, I slept in until 1pm. Totally exhausted.

Such is the life. I'm back at it this week at work, so I really can't complain. The anti-biotics are starting to work already - the nasal issues are much improved and I can handle to cough with over the counter medicine now. YAAAY!

I think I will take an extended weekend off next weekend, seeing as it's good friday. I just have to ask the bosses.
