The Doctor's Visit

Well. I went to the doctor. And my self diagnosis did not hold true.

First I weighed in at an unmentionable large number. I will start exercising(again) as soon as I kick this. For real this time.

Then the nurse said her sister was my sub today. Hope they were good.

Then I had a chest X-ray. Really I did. Then a swab for flu testing.

And finally the doctor said you don't have the flu but you do have a "really really nasty sinus infection and a lot of bad fluid build up in your ears".

They gave me a shot in the butt. And three prescriptions.

I was feeling really weak that a sinus infection could take me down and out like this but my dad assured me that sinus infections can be very serious and can lead to hospitalization. So I felt a little better. I decided to take one more day of rest. To let the meds kick in and my head stop ringing. Thank you for all the well wishes. I am happy to not be spreading the flu around!

When I have a sinus infection I always feel like I have the flu! Once my jaw and teeth were hurting so bad I went to the dentist. I told him if he couldn't fix my tooth or the pain to just shoot me I could not take the pain anymore. Of course I had to wait till the next day to get to the medical doctor because it wasn't my teeth!
Thankful for no flu, take ALL your meds.
Love, MIL
