Hey Everyone
I just wanted to take a few minutes and check in with ya’ll! I am still sick- I am almost positive I have a Peritonsillar Abscess but I was lucky enough to have some antibiotics and ear drops that seem to be knocking it down. I tend to have a knack for rare bacterial things so I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if that isn’t what this is. I have also always had some weird luck with sore throats and such so.. go figure.and no, I don’t go to the DR unless I am dying (ie, can’t breath/asthma) I don’t have insurance and generally they don’t do anything for sore throats and such anyways so why waste time? I honestly think all of this is because I made fun of David having a sore throat a few weeks back and wanting to go to the Dr..
Friday- twinge in my ear and throat that I thought nothing of- figure it was allergies
Saturday- I was having more pain- mostly in my throat and by late evening swallowing was difficult
Sunday- throat was SO Sore- swallowing was nearly impossible. Drank lots of tea and honey and thought i was doing well
Monday- Monday was mostly earache from hell day- deep deep pain and swallowing wasn’t even an option hardly anymore. my mom came over and put drops in my ear and I started taking some anti biotics -this is when I figured I probably had the abscess thing because I didn’t think it was just sinus related anymore. I spent 2hrs with a heat pad on my ear before i went to bed.
Tuesday- I wake up sometime monday night and realize my ear isn’t about to burst off my head anymore but my throat is raw. Spent most of yesterday sounding like a frog. Was happy to be able to swallow- I drank some water and was SO EXCITED i drank something that wasn’t hot tea.
Wed- mostly in my ear and I am just really tired -mostly because of restless sleep due to having those really hot and cold spells you have when you have a fever. Yawning throws me into a new dimension of pain. i think i might make it through though.
Thurs- Today- doing pretty good. most pain is in my ear and when I yawn still…
I actually started a version of this post tuesday, worked on it yesterday and here we are on thursday so lets see if I can finish it this time lol
I got up early yesterday because they are supposed to be doing one of these famous apt inspections they like doing around here- they never give proper notice and then they say oh well we will be in TODAY OR TOMORROW between 9-5 and yeah I haven’t even saw anyone out this morning – they are probably working backwards like last time so.. yeah i am just saying if i had water leaks or my door didn’t shut i’d let them know- no need to come poking about. They finally showed up just before noon and were INSANELY nosey this time. I mean in my closet? in MY FRIDGE?and miss head thang from the office was with them too. OY.
Today I am up early because my mom had sent me a message on facebook shortly after David left. I don’t want to Jinx it but there might be something big in the works here in the next few weeks. I should know some more about it tonight and tomorrow and hopefully it works out! I hate to not spill what it is but .. I am very hopeful 🙂 like i say I am going to go look at something to do with it tonight and then I might know a little more. Very early stages right now!
I am a bit nauseous and I am not sure where in the world that has came from. I wish I could have got about 2 more hours of sleep and have been considering a nap but I think that would not work out in my favor at this point. I am trying to power through and figure out what needs to be done. I have a delicious smelling brisket in my slow cooker right now – I guess this has just been a week to try to feel better and not much for the house or blogging- but I have kept up with things a little bit email wise and laundry and such
well I am gonna go for now-later taters!
