| | Aaaaargh. I’ve been coughing my head off for two weeks straight. Went to the doctor last week to make sure it wasn’t anything worse and to get some good ol’ cough syrup with codeine in it. Which I’ve taken in the past and have been fine with it. But this time they also gave me prednisone and antibiotics. Because the day before my doctor’s appointment I just happened to get a spider bite. Nothing poisonous but it made my entire thumb swell up and I somehow got these weird spots all over me (they were calling it a systemic reaction?) and they were worried since I’ve had bad reactions to common insect bites in the past. So in the past week I’ve not only been living with a wicked cough and an itchy thumb. But I’ve been sick to my stomach and dizzy from all the meds. AND I’ve had insomnia which I NEVER have (I’m usually more on the narcoleptic side if anything). Mixed together these meds have left me feeling worse than just the cough itself! So last night I finished the last of the meds and today I’m finally feeling a little like myself again. Never have I been so thankful to just be fighting the remains of a nagging cough and on my way to being healthy again. Obviously this was nothing compared to what some people go through on a daily basis but for me this was pretty bad. I threw up more times this week (like four times) than in my entire life up to now! Blah…. while sick I also missed two days of school (would have been more had we not had a four-day weekend), three ballet classes and rehearsals, six yoga classes, countless hours of peaceful sleep… Anyway I just thought I would write this update to complain. What good is a blog if you can’t complain when you’re sick? I told Meow I know what she felt like when they gave her these meds that made her tummy sick. And I told L that I am really thankful for his homemade soups… leek and garlic soup, butternut squash soup… he makes the yummiest homemade soups and they have made me feel better when nothing much else could these past two weeks. |
