Getting better

catsittingstillSo 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.

And drat it, I think it is the amoxicillin--I skipped the decongestant this morning just to be sure, and I have that taste again. Plus it seems to be making my tongue feel sore--like I've been sucking on jagged hard candies or something.
I guess I'll just have to put up with it for a while.
