Well, I tried my best to fight whatever sickness was plaguing me, but finally had to go for a doctor visit. I have an upper respiratory infection, accompanied by coughing, congestion, lovely green mucus & a low grade fever. My doc is pretty Zen & did not give me any antibiotics. Just some cough medicine, lots of herbs & a note for work. I had the whole week off, which sounds more fabulous than it actually was. Much of that time I was bed ridden. Even sitting up at a computer was strenuous. When I did manage to get something done, like taking down the Xmas decorations, it took me 3x the length of time it would normally take & a nap was needed in between to complete the project. But, just being away from that loud, germ infested, dark hole, that some call a restaurant was priceless. And Tom playing my nurse maid was a bonus, too. Today I'm going to attempt to do laundry, send out the wedding invitations & make a soup (not sure which kind, yet). We'll see what actually gets accomplished before I need to hit the bed.
Hi Dawn! Sorry it's been so long since my last visit. I think that anitbiotics are overprescribed since most illnesses are colds which are viral and anitbiotics won't help. However, you seem to have been feeling bad for about a week which is clearly bacterial and not viral. He should have given you the meds. Hope you're better now.
