Sinus Infection, Bronchitis & Laryngitis

That is what working double shifts after sitting out in the cold & wind watching a baseball game for 5 hrs will do to you. Heed the warning - don't do it! lol

My boss sent me home yesterday morning telling me to get some rest. I had double shifts scheduled all week and it sort of upset me that he was sending me home because I didn't want to make our already short staff, even shorter. But he didn't care. I barely could talk as it was and everyone I did talk to told me I should be home. So I got myself a doc appt and that (in the title) is what she told me I had. I was prescribed Zithromax TriPack, Mucinex & allergy meds. Told to get rest, be quiet and drink warm tea w/honey & lemon.

Today I have my voice back somewhat and am feeling some better, but the allergy med I got should have been decongestant too and I didn't get the right one. Don't have the extra cash right now to go get it. So I'll get through it. Just layed out in the sun for an hour hoping to get some of it dried out of my head. Oh...and work on a tan too. :) I will veg as best I can since the girls are here. Working all those hours and then starting midnight shift this week just leads to a neglected house, so I'm trying to work on cleaning up little by little.

Also have to get ready for our very last Daisy meeting this Wednesday. I have to get the girls banners completed and get their binders together too. So, lots to do in the next couple days. The next time our Daisies meet after this Wednesday is Bridging. Very exciting!

So....who still stops by??

PS - down 36.5 lbs now!! Weight Watchers is awesome!

Congrats on the great loss!!!

The mucinex is a good mucolitic so it should help with the moving of the crap :) Robitussin DM is another great thing... we use to use that in the hospitals to help break the crap up!!!

I hope you are feeling better. I can't believe dd has one more year and will be bridging to Juniors!!

by the way, I am stopping by :)
