In sickness and in health

I'm not the type of person who gets sick very often. I get a cold here or there but have never been really sick where I can't do much. I may pretend I can't do much but in reality I can.

Two Thursdays ago I started to feel achy. That's never a good sign. I was watching my niece and had been dealing with the boys being sick off and on. Mostly with sniffles and coughs, though B did have a double ear infection. I thought I was pretty lucky in not getting any of it, little did I know that I would get it and more.

It started out with just some coughing and some aches, nothing major. Til Saturday got here, I had no voice and could barely get off the chair. Sunday I woke up with a very sore ear and knew I was going to get worse before getting better. D ended up taking me to the doctors and then to get my med. I had an ear infection and pretty nasty bout with the laryngitis bug that was going around. The doctor prescribed some amoxicilan and what he said was cough suppresant with codiene to help me sleep. Unfortunately it wasn't a cough suppresant it was to help me cough more to get the gook up. Needless to say I didn't sleep well for about 3 days.

Fast forward to this week. I am still dealing with the ear problem. It is clogged and still ringing. I am treating it with some benedryl and decongestant. It does seem to be getting a bit better but really it's quite annoying now.

My husband has been wonderful through it all. He's come home and made suppers and taken care of dishes and laundry. He has taken care of the boys, getting them baths and dressed and in bed. He's been the greatest. Sometimes I do wonder where his priorities are when it comes to work, but he has shown me that no matter what he has going at work, he still has time for us and to take care of our needs.

Thanks, D, I love you!!!!
