UPDATE:
I tried one more time and managed to get in today. I have a sinus infection and lucked out with antibiotics and the good cough meds. Yippie. Now I'm going to be zoning and tired all weekend, and yogurt is my new best friend for the next 10 days. I HATE antibiotics with a passion and hope to avoid their lovely gift they bring along.....
Original post was.....
I look forward to the weekends now. Why? Because I can sleep past 7. Usually it's only till 7:30 or 8, but those extra few minutes feel great. And while I do not NEED to be up before 7 on weekdays, I'm usually up a good bit before to allow some time to totally wake up and get "me" time before the house gets busy.
So, you can imagine how disgusted I am to say that I was up before 7 today. Coughing like crazy and to the point of almost barfing. It was great.
This cold or whatever I have, has finally moved past the constant snotting and now I get the wonderful cough. It's not enough to make me think I really need anything strong to get rid of it yet. More of a dry annoying cough.
I did call the dr and I can't be seen till Tuesday so I decided not to bother with an appt. By then, it should be clearing up. And if not, I'll call on Monday and try hard to get in somewhere. Meanwhile....Anyone know of any good over the counter med that will work good to keep me from coughing at night/early morning? Once I'm awake for a while, it seems to be fine. It's just that sleep induced crap that gets me.
Oh, we can eat Activia with Jamie Lee Curtis and talk about how we used to have occasional irregularity.
ReplyDeleteI don't normally suffer the bad side effects of antibiotics and even now with the thrush things seem to be going ok, but I'm choking down the yogurt and probiotic powder because I do not have time to deal with that crap.
