Still down and out

March 20th, 2007

But while I am up out of bed and have the computer for a few minutes, I thought I'd pass along the good news that I'm actually still alive. It doesn't feel like I'm still alive, but I am.

Things took a turn a few days ago and my bout with the flu turned into a sinus infection. I trudged through the pain here at home for a few days (you know.. being un-insured and all - big thanks to the resident creep voyeur, "Little Man" for that! By the way Little Man, keep coming around and I'm going to start calling you by your real name.) But I finally saw a medical professional this morning. Indeed, I was correct, as a pretty serious and severe sinus infection is raging in my noggin. I came home with an arsenal of medication to combat the nastiness, though the pharmacist tells me it may take a few days for the steroids to give some relief. I'm praying for some let up by tomorrow because let me tell you..  this is some serious kind of pain! For example, Sinus pain is often confused with migraine pain. Yowch.
So thats it for now..

I'm alive, I'm pretty sick, but I will be getting better. And all you awesome peeps who have been commenting and emailing, Thank You. Of course I haven't been up to actual responses, but I will reply eventually when I'm feeling better!

Around a year ago on this day..

    You have turned the corner. My sister was down and out for 9 days and finally started feeling better - though is still dragging. It is a nasty flu and for you, bonus sinus infection. You will be up and at them soon - just in time for spring.

    Oh my some serious nastiness going on with you. Feel better and hope the meds work quickly!

    *waving to wee little peeper man with no life* Is your life really that pathetic that you have nothing else to do??

    Get well soon Carla! Haven’t seen your blog for forever because of my own evil little man :) Had to figure out what Richard meant by down for the count. Hope you feel better sooner than soon.
