So although I spent a good portion of my weekend sick as a dog with the boy, at least we were both partially dying.
boy diagnosis: chest cold: running nose, pressured sinuses, head aches, coughing.
girl diagnosis:
a) strep throat: swollen glands, fever, really nasty looking tonsils, the most uncomfortable agonizing pain you'll ever experience; followed by trouble swallowing, breathing, speaking, sleeping and moving anything neck up.
b) failure in medication: the doctor I went to see with the lazy eye, undersized polo T and partially ripped levis prescribed me a medication that was totally ineffective. gee, thanks.
c) hospitalization: muscle pain, and even worse glandular throat pains; a visit to the steinbach hospital is enforced.
d) mono: a non treatable virus that causes prolonged fatigue and muscle weakness. immune system is down.
this would be my weekend in a nutshell. pretty awesome right?
I had a nightmare I was bed ridden for three months; i lost my job, i lost contact with my friends, i lost my boyfriend and I was set back a year with school. this was not a good start to my recovery.
on the plus side,
if i could i would send you a big bowl of chicken noodle soup and a pickle with my mind. unfortunately i do not have this skill.
ReplyDeletei do however have a movie recomendation!
before sunset. it's an hour and a half of amazing conversation. i think you may enjoy it?

ReplyDeleteI went on a movie downloading spree for this illness of mine and that was one of the first movies I thought of,
