80% Better....still a little down
Sorry about my lack of writing in the past few days. I have been under the weather...to say the least. It started last week with the common "gunk" that plagues so many of us here in the fair state of Kentucky. The pollen count at the end of last week was the highest it had been all year. No wonder! Flowers are blooming, grass is growing, and trees are budding once again. While I love this time of year and the beauty that it brings...I really don't like what happens to my head. :-( ALLERGIES!!!! So many of my friends go through times much worse than I in dealing with the pain and mess of allergies. I do think that I get off rather lightly compared to Joseph and my friend Becky. Both of them suffer almost year 'round. I can't imagine. I would be a bear!
The worst part of me this past week has been that I ended up with strep. Oh yeah! Horrible. I don't recall it being this bad when I was a child. Maybe it's worse for adults. I'm not sure, but my poor throat is still not back to normal. I lost my voice for a few days, had MAJOR throat pain, and didn't eat much for about 3 days. According to Don (my doctor and friend) I was pretty bad off. Upon checking me out in the office on Monday, he said, "Woah! You're tonsils are huge! Even your uvula is infected. If it's not strep I will give you antibiotics anyway because that looks terrible!" I was immediately put on drugs and sent home. The worst part of my illness happened Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning. As far as I was concerned the antibiotics should have kicked in the first night and made it so that I was my old self again the next day. Nope. Didn't happen. I was in such pain on Tuesday night that I couldn't swollow a thing with crying. I wasn't able to eat or drink. My mouth of dry and I was miserable. I kept popping the drugs and finally on Wednesday morning, about 10am, the pain subsided and I was back to feeling like a normal person.
Throughout the whole thing my main squeeze, Tim, has been AWESOME! He has done a great job taking care of me and keeping up with what meds I needed to take, etc. Thanks, babe, for being there through it all! I love you!

oh no, cari chase, I think I may have gotten your friendly bug! Yesterday, on my way here, I realized my head and throat and nose weren't doing so well. Tonight I have been miserable. My throat hurts, I'm congested, my nose is constantly running, I'm sneezing, I have a headache...is this at all what you were like? Oh, I reallly don't need this...but I am happy! Having a good time in Indy. Get to see a great friend tomorrow, if I am better-since she has a newborn! Oh well, God knows and has a plan. Maybe it's just for me to rest and blog! :) Love you. Miss you! Kari
