When your sick, your sick...

Ok so I woke up Friday morning feeling some what O.K.. I even straitened up the house. Though I did my usual morning gag reflex thing a couple times as I made my breakfast. Nothing out of the norm but as the morning wained on I began to feel worse and worse.

After managing to get up the courage to go to work, I find myself only sitting there for about 40 minutes before I quickly realize I needed to head home. What is worse is my parents had asked me to come stay with them over the weekend. Ugg I am thinking. This isn't good at all. Though after taking a two hour nap I felt refreshed. I really didn't want to stay at home all weekend alone while my husband was off skiing with his youth group.

So I hopped in the car and headed towards my folks. About 30 minutes into the drive I begin to get a sneaky feeling I had a fever but I trudge on through. Needless to say I walked into my parents house and fell on the the couch like a old dead tree. Crash!

Mom pulled out the themometer and Dad covered my chilled body with a blanket, while my nephew jumped up all over me. Ah family. There is nothing like it. Of course I had a 101 fever and I was offically permitted to be sick.

For the past 6 days I have been coughing like a smoker on his last days of his life. It sounds horrible. I eventually broke down and took some Acidified on Saturday. I had woke up with goo squirting out my eyes and I couldn't hear anything except ringing. Not to mention I couldn't breath out my nose.

I waited a hour or so before I took anything that morning hoping that it would drain out. Course that strategy didn't work. It just sat there in my sinus' like a angry Sumo Wrestler with a death wish.

I really feel like such an evil soul for even taking anything. I have weathered Migraines, Acid Reflux and so many other things. But I just couldn't handle this. (Don't' worry it's on the list of things I can take.)

I also did a salt water Sinus Rinse.. Gargled with Apple cider vinegar water and ate Moms magic chicken soup the whole weekend. Mom's chicken soup is the bomb! In fact I had three bowls that night.. LOL! Not to mention having my family there picked my spirits up so much. There is nothing more powerful than having your family around you. They just know what to say, How to say it, and when to say it. I am so glad I went home instead of trying to weather the storm alone.

I am still coughing and my ears are still super stuffy. OY! I just thank God that I feel a whole lot better.
