Couldn't just get a little cold like everyone else - oooh no. Had to be a big nasty icky head sinusy thing that got bored just messing with my head, so it went on a field trip to my chest. Now I've got bronchitis too. Woo hoo! Doctor took a look at me and kind of laughed and shook his head and started writing prescriptions. I'm a serious mess, and this is after two solid days of lying in bed with kleenex, NyQuil and pedialyte.
The only consolation is the semi-coma I achieve with the codeine cough syrup. That's some good solid sleep baby!
Here's hoping I can breathe again by next week. I'm starting to forget what my gym looks like.

I hope you're feeling better. I'm hoping to avoid the doc but if I feel like this for two more days, there's no chance.
Geez you and Lisa are both down... whatever bug you two have don't spread it around, k? I need my lungs. :)
Seriously, I hope you feel better, and when you do you can hit me upside the head with the thera-cold 'cause I guess it didn't work. sorry :(
Don't worry too much...I actually find a good cold is what I need to get re-motivated sometimes. Nurse yourself now...your body will remember your gym all too soon!
Get well soon..

Thanks for the cheery notes guys! Makes being bedridden for 4 days a little easier. I think the antibiotics are kicking in - although today was so horrible I wondered if I wouldn't end up in the hospital it ended up being a baaaaaad reaction to the cough syrup. It had hydrocodone in it - which I cannot take - instead of codeine. Oh baby did that suck. Now that it's been out of my system for a few hours I'm starting to feel hints of returning to normal. But my head still feels like there's a truck parked on it : )
Lisa - go to the doctor before it moves into your lungs! I waited and now my recovery time is going to be doubled. If it's the same bug, the abx do seem to help.
I can't take any form of codeine, codone or otherwise... if I do I end up praying to the porcelein god. Hopefully that is NOT what happened to you, I can't imagine that scenario with a sore throat to start with! Sheesh girl, when you get sick, you get SICK!
Yep, that's me! I can't just get a little cold. While I will say this is above and beyond anything I've ever experienced, it's pretty routine for me to get the worst posible version of any bug going around.
And that's exactly what happens to me with hydrocodone (aka Vicodin). I was up from 3 am praying at the porcelain shrine the other night. Add that to the already sore throat... I was in a lot of pain. Even though those effects wore off after about 8 hours, so far all I've been able to take in is watered down Gatorade and some mac 'n cheese. My voice still isn't right. And now I've got a huge lump under my chin that I know from previous experience is an angry lymph node.
I can't f'in WAIT for this to be over.
