Getting better

So I got the flu from Kip in late January, and just as I was getting better, he came home on Valentine's Day sick again.  And of course I caught it three days later.  And by Tuesday of this week, when it became apparent that I had caught pinkeye on top of it all, I broke down and went to the doctor.  My doctor couldn't see me that day so I saw the nurse practioner instead.  And she told me I had a sinus infection (really?  That's the first time that's ever happened to me as far as I know) and she gave me antibiotics and decongestants (or prescriptions for same) and said the antibiotics would take care of the pinkeye too.  Which I guess they should, provided it isn't viral.

I had my doubts, especially when I filled all three prescriptions with generics and they still cost me 60$ (ouch).  But the next day I was feeling better, and my coughing fits had declined to the occasional cough.  I still have the occasional cough, and my attempts at singing have been pitiful, and the pinkeye is better but not gone, but it's a definite improvement..  So, great.  On the other hand, one of my drugs is making my mouth taste like I'm sucking on a rusty spoon; I could live without that.  I hope it isn't the antibiotics because I have to take those for 14 days.

Anyway, at least I'm finally feeling up to doing something besides lurking in the house reading.

It's really not as gross as it sounds

But my recent encounters with the flu and such got me thinking about
