Sick!

It seems morning sickness simply moved out of the way for a sinus infection to move in.  I have a headache, stuffy ears and nose, a scratchy, sore throat, a cough, colorful mucus, fever, and no voice.  My face feels like Violet looked after she chewed the gum in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.  I did get physically sick once last night and once this morning, so I'm not sure I'm in the clear from that, either.

On Friday I went to Minute Clinic, a quick, nurse-run office that some CVS stores in the area have.  The nurse there told me the infection was viral and to go home, rest and take Tylenol.  The thing is, I have a long, chronic history of sinus infections, and none of them have ever been viral.  I have always needed an antibiotic to clear it.  But, she wouldn't write me a prescription, and sent me on my way with her advice, and minus $35 from my pocket.

So, after suffering horrendously all weekend and not being able to sleep at night, I am taking the morning off from work and going to my regular doctor, who has much more sense than the nurses at Minute Clinic!  Looking forward to getting an antibiotic and feeling better!
