Can I Catch a Break!

I've had a hard time getting well over the past month/month and half. And everytime I start feeling well I get busy catching up around the house to only find myself sick again a week later.


Timeline of this crud that won't go away:


OCt 28 - 1st round of antibiotics
2 weeks later - another round
2 weeks later - 3rd round with a nasal spray, Mucinex and Netipot
Dec 17 - steriod, 4th antibiotic, a new nasal spray and referral to an ENT


THEN THE ROOF OF ALL ILLNESSES FELL IN!!


The 4th round of antibiotic made me so sick I was back at Urgent Care on Dec 22. I actually had to finish picking up my last 2 Christmas presents carrying a vomit bag just incase. I must have looked like death warmed over because people were giving me looks and moving out of my way. I have to say I was in and out of 2 stores 3 days before Christmas in no time flat! My mom had to come finish wrapping presents and even though we still hosted Christmas Eve dinner at my house my mom took care of all the food. I didn't eat a real meal (or anything really) until the evening before Christmas Eve.


So here we are the week after New Years and I've been back to the doctor. This time I went straight to the ENT. He did xrays and was surprised my sinus cavities didn't look worse (we were on the start of another infection though). Of course I'm on another round of antibiotics - 10 days! LONG DAYS! So after I am off of these for a week we shall see if I can finally catch a break and be healthy for longer than a week.


Trust me when I saw we could all use it in this house...with 6 people we tend to pass alot back and forth but when Mom is sick, everything falls apart. This last week we all just shared the week being sick. Jordonna had a double ear infection and Tony a sinus infection - and to think I was taking them both in just for a nasty cough to be sure before we headed to Louisiana for the weekend. Dylan actually had to be left at home with my husband during our trip out of town because he was so sick.


Fingers crossed, we are starting the week off good.
