To start this blog off positively I will say I finally got the snow I wanted--14 inches on December 26th--but I was too sick to enjoy it. "Awwwwww, poor baby". Yes, poor baby is I!

Anyway, let's rewind. Around the middle of December I got/caught a cold. The only 2 over-the-counter meds I can ever take when I'm sick, as a former transplant patient, are Mucinex and Tylenol(I'm allergic to Aspirin). I take these and if I get worse(it always gets worse....go figure)I head in to my family Doc to get a script for an antibiotic. Well Mucinex and Tylenol lasted me until Christmas Day or thereabouts. The next day(26th)was Sunday so I couldn't go to the Doc's as they are normally closed. Monday---we just got 14 inches of snow the night before so they are closed again...UGH! By this time I was really feeling like **** and even contemplated going to the E.R. I do have a bit of a fear of going to hospitals now ---which given my situation of going in for a test one day almost 13 years ago and not coming out till just about a year later I believe that fear is justified! Anyway, so Tuesday hits and now I was just miserable and have been in bed for 3 days straight(if ya know me that is way too much time in bed for me and I am starting to go crazy)and feel miserable. I didn't even feel like getting up to get dressed and head out to the Doc but I had to get that script. I coerced myself to drive there and wait another 2 hours in the waiting room(so much fun when you are sick and time goes even slower:roll:). After 3 full days of antibiotics I am finally able to start getting out of bed. I don't ever recall being so sick like this that I was stuck in bed for so long. I am just glad to be back working again(never thought I'd say that)starting today. Hell, in that last week I got out of bed for more than 5 minutes a grand total of 2 times---once to hit up the Doc for a script and once to wish someone a happy birthday(this was actually the first time I turned on the PC in over a week too!).


I hope everybody else had a much, much better week that was and happy belated New Year to all!
