Thursday was day nine since the first day of my sore throat. Nine long days of being sick. I’m doing a lot better and I have about 90% of my voice back but I’m still very snotty, still have some intermittent coughing and am overall very exhausted. This morning was a non-stop nose blowing festival…

The Cold That Will Not Die
Seriously, I want to stop being sick now. I am so tired and miserable and things are getting WORSE again, not better. Here’s the progression so far. Tuesday 10/19 – woke up with dry sore throat. Worked normal day. Wednesday 10/20 – was up most of the night with swollen, thick, razor-blade painful sore throat….
Mute
My voice, which was broken and shot from the sore throat has now managed to give out on me entirely. Dammit.
Recovering
After my boss sent me home yesterday, I went to sleep for about two hours. Didn’t do anything more strenuous after that then sit around and watch a bunch of TV. Went to bed early – was really exhausted. (You know how being sick just takes it out of you.) Woke up like four or…
Sent Home Sick
Last night, woke up around 4am with my throat feeling a tiny bit better but my nose now stuffy, running and irritated. Got up, got ready for work, got sick, went to work with chills and sweats. Thankfully my boss sent me home so I’m going to bed. Being sick sucks.
STILL Sore Throat
GRRR!! My throat is killing me!! It hurts SO bad. All day, it’s all I can think about. I can barely speak and if I do, it’s in little more then a whisper. Still no white bumps but a big, red, lump way back behind my tonsils and also red, raw sections on either side….
Sore Throat
Two of my posts now through Posterous haven’t arrived. Boo. One was from about 5:30 this morning. Would have said: Woke up tues. with sore throat. Lasted all day. Now still here and hurts worse. Cant get back to sleep. Hurts to swallow. 🙁 Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat. One of those…
Migraine Aura Without Headache
I may have found the answer. Lately I’ve had these odd migraine-like episodes where I get the same thick/foggy/sluggish brain feeling and the visual distortions (aura) plus various other weird neurological symptoms – but not always with the actual headache pain. It had me worried because it just didn’t feel right and it was scary…
Dizzy
Woke up this morning dizzy. Slight headache, bad visual distortions, dizzy, disoriented, kinda nauseous. No clue why. Spent two hours trying to relax and feel better. Didn’t work. Had to call my boss because I honestly didn’t feel safe to drive. I can’t even walk across the room without hitting the wall. I’m so unbalanced….
Fridays Yays and Boos
The good and not so good for Friday. Yay! I won the Disney Dooney & Bourke contest! Yay! Love and I are going to see the Lightning home opener tomorrow. Not only for free but we're going to be int he VIP Party Suite which has free food, drinks, etc. Super awesome. Yay! It's Friday….
Quickie Updates
I keep meaning to write a real entry but…it keeps not happening. Here’s the brief rundown on life lately. Work Had my 1-on-1 meeting with my boss last Friday. Presented my case. He agreed it was worth a shot. So now I’m working Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday (same days) but 12pm-4:30pm, no lunch instead of…
Rough Weekend And Start of Week
Nothing new here but I had a pretty rough weekend health-wise. (And by the way, it's SO UNFAIR to be ill on your days off.) Had a miserable migraine and then it lead to some pretty serious stomach upset. Sunday night I wasn't feeling well still and Love said I should take Monday to recoup….

Not quite Friday
Thursdays are always rough. They come after a day off and are so close to a weekend and yet…they promise another day of work before the weekend. In short, Thursday is not Friday. And that stinks. Because Fridays are great; especially this Friday since it ushers in a three day weekend. Had my long overdue…
Hurting
I guess I've been in a flare-up lately because I've been really even more exhausted and in pain than normal but this morning, it's just the worst. I woke up to my whole body aching. Every joint hurts; I feel like I've been run over. Tylenol isn't doing a thing and on top of it,…
