🤧🤒 It has been a long week! It started Wednesday when my daughter woke up with a cough. Of course it had to snow. And of course we had to go out and play in it anyway.
.
Thanksgiving... more snow. Daughter’s birthday. Had to play in the snow again! Oh wait, now I have the cough.
.
Friday, daughter’s cough is clearing, mine is getting worse, but not bad.
.
Saturday, yay! It’s our anniversary! Gonna get sushi and have a good night out. Oops, jk. Running low fever and coughing until my eyes water. My throat hurts from coughing. (We still got sushi, only hubs ordered it and brought it home instead).
.
Sunday. Wake up. Can’t breathe. It feels like I’m breathing through a straw. My throat is fiery red. Spend a few hours in the ER (no local urgent care).
.
Do I have strep or tonsillitis? Nope. Just. Virus. Here is cough medicine and ibuprofen. Have a good day!
.
Monday, I’m unconscious for most of it. I think I hallucinated a few times, but who knows. Husband ones home early to take care of our daughter.
.
Tuesday, no voice. None. This is fun with a 4yr old at home. But we make it through.
.
Wednesday I’m feeling better, but not great. Coughing fits but no sore throat! Yay!
.
Thursday, I can finally talk! Yay!!! Still coughing but it’s fine. No sore throat (except for the coughing) and I can actually do things without coughing a temp to spike.
.
You’d think with all that downtime I would have been able to write A LITTLE, but no. I was so drained. Instead, I binge watched Call The Midwife (again) and planted myself on the couch. Other than going to the ER on Sunday, I have not left the house since Tuesday. I need to get out!!
.
But, seeing at it is 2am, I will just drink theraflu out of one of my favorite cups and try to make progress on my WIP!
