Sick. Again. Worse. Longer.

I got sick again last Monday (yes, 9 days ago) and stayed home for a day. I proceeded to be sick all week, and then got worse at the end of the weekend and was home all weekend and Monday. Tuesday I worked part day and went to the doctor. It sounds like I got a cold, which likely became a sinus infection, and also triggered the asthma that I only get when I get sick. So I am working again, but medicated up the ying yang and periodically can't breathe. I will start a course of antibiotics tomorrow if I am not improving on my own by then. As miserable as this is, there are many worse off than I am. People I know have been suffering not only from strep and mono, but more serious medical conditions. My grandma had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago due to a clot and she was hospitalized a couple of times with complications. Blessedly she is doing well now. My aunt was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). And this past weekend my friend's husband suffered a brain bleed (he's like 37) and is now in the neurology ICU for observation for at least a week. They're trying to determine the cause. Everybody get your physicals and take care of yourselves!
