Doctors Visits Are Cramping My Style

I went back to the doctor today because the medicine just wasn't working. It's been a week and I feel only marginally better now.

Augmentin, Claritin D and Benadryl, plus neti pot and proventil inhaler couldn't quash whatever ridiculous, mutant form of a sinus infection I seem to have contracted.

Now I'm switching to Medrol and Z-pack. I'm drinking my ginger root tea. I'm doing literally everything I can think of to get rid of this.

Right now, I am able to function, and I'm pretty motivated to study. But my body is just falling apart and I'm so tired. Tired isn't the right word. I'm completely lethargic. If I can just make it through the next week without my body completely giving out, then I'll be fine. I'm also hoping I can make it longer than 20 minutes at a time without blowing my nose--do they even let you bring tissues in to the test? Will they make me wear a SARS mask? oh God.


PJO has joked that I'll be the only person who feels more rested right after the Bar, because I'll be sleeping at a hotel without a baby and cats waking me up. Maybe the first consecutive 8-hour stretch of sleep I'll have had in 7 months. I can't wait for all of that glorious, uninterrupted sleep. It's what's driving me right now!

I remember that first night of uninterrupted sleep -- that's definitely worth persisting for through the sickness fog! Hope you feel better.
