Final Sick Update

I was hoping that I wasn't going to have to write another update on how I'm feeling. But considering that I'm feeling so much better I figure that this is going to be the last on everything before getting into regular programming.

The good news is that the antibiotics have started working. I can actually hear out of my ear once again and all my congestion seems to have started settling down a bit. I've still got a few days off before I have to go back to work so hopefully, everything has settled down a bit by Monday.

I've also had to put on hold what I've been doing to lose weight. I don't want to have to be worrying about food and how much I'm putting into my body when I'm feeling like crap, so I've just taken a break until Monday and then I'm going to get back into it once again. I don't want to sound like I'm chickening out on what I have been doing, but I honestly don't know how I could continue doing it while I'm feeling not 100%.

Until next time,

I'm Sick Continued

So... This is a continuation of yesterday because things have now gotten worse.

I now have a sinus infection AND an ear infection. A double whammy! Lucky me.

I feel like I have water stuck in my left ear because the infection has migrated. Thankfully the antibiotics I got given on Saturday will work for both and I should know within the next 48 hours whether they're working or not.

What I hated having to do is calling out for work. I know it sounds weird but I really love what I do. The kids are amazing and they're a joy to look after. I would normally try and work through these things but I've got a bit of pain and I'm worried about passing this onto the kids.

So until next week,

I'm Sick

I wasn't going to post anything today. I was willing to give myself a sick day and let things go, only then I remembered that this whole blogging every day for a year thing was meant to be a way for me to document things that were happening and what is happening right now is a part of that.

I have a sinus infection. For the past three days, I've been able to keep going because it hasn't really been affecting anything else.

That was until today.

I have asthma. It's something that I got as an adult thanks to having a crappy immune system, catching every cold and flu imaginable and pneumonia making sure that it stuck. I was hoping that I had managed to escape it going south, but it looks like it has just been playing me.

I've started coughing, bringing up stuff, and just generally I feel crappy. Tiredness settled in earlier today and I really just wanted to get home and go to bed.

However, a bath, my puffers, and puppy snuggles have perked me up a bit and I'm feeling a lot better. Well, not a lot, but enough that I feel that I can put sentences together reasonably well.

I'm off work tomorrow so if things don't look any better by the morning, I'm going to go get the antibiotics that were prescribed for me and hope that they make me feel better.

Until next time,
