Sick!!!

So I've had a cold for two weeks now. By Christmas Eve I started to feel a bit better but then Christmas night I started to feel worse and have continued to keep feeling worse. Saturday morning I decided I'd have to call my dr first thing Monday morning because I'm way sicker than I should be. My mom took my baby for me last night so I could get some rest and I ended up having an emotional break down in the middle of the night because I felt so bad. I finally decided I couldn't wait until Monday and ended up going to the ER. I hate the ER! It was so crowded and then while I was waiting in the waiting room this guy who thought he had chicken pox came in and sat down right next to me!! Gross!!i had I wait three hours before I ended up being seen by a dr who I'm quite certain wasn't even old enough to have a drivers license. Turns out I have strep and a sinus infection!! Soooooo glad I went in and was able to start antibiotics today. I feel ******!!!!

This sickness stinks! I'm glad you've got meds to make you feel better. I found out AFTER leaving my inlaws that my niece was sick...and she held Cady. Now both Cady n I have been fighting it. I've got it worse than her thankfully..it's just making her reflux worse.

Glad you got seen and are able to start feeling better. My mom always had us gargle warm/hot salt water and it worked wonders.
