Being Sick and Single SUCKS!

So it's 2:45 in the afternoon and I JUST got out of bed. This never happens...unless...I'm SICK.

I don't get sick often but when I do get sick, I get REALLY sick.

I felt whatever it is coming on yesterday while I was at work. Last night as I tried to sleep (notice, I said TRIED), I could feel my throat closing up. It was so scary. My throat was ON FIRE and CLOSING at the same time. Don't think I've ever had that happen before.

I had plans to go on a day trip today and kept hoping that I'd be well enough to make it. But as the night progressed and morning approached, I realized that it was gonna be a "no go". There's NO WAY I would've made the bus ride and then been able to stay there all day. The last thing I needed was to get all the way out there and be even sicker...waiting for the bus to bring us back.

The crummiest part of all is that there's no one to take care of me. Getting out of bed pretty much zapped me of what little energy I had. So every move had to be carefully thought out before I made it.

I needed Ibuprofen for the aches & pains but I didn't wanna take it on an empty stomach so I had to figure out what I could quickly eat so that I could take the meds. That was quite a feat. I opted for a slice of toast that I only took three bites out of. Took two Ibuprofen and that was enough to wear me out. I found some throat lozenges to suck on while I slept (hoping I wouldn't accidentally swallow one in my sleep) and headed right back to bed.

I'm up and about now, trying not to do too much, and thankfully Jordan is here now (we were supposed to go on the trip together), so if I need to go to urgent care, she'll take me.

Still though...being sick and single SUCKS.

Let the DIALOGUE begin: Who takes care of YOU when you're sick? Or do you have to be doctor and patient at the same time as I do?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
