sickie sick
i have been sick now since december 22. that's a way long time to be miserable. i went to visit yet another doctor on thursday and got a boatload of drugs. amazingly, the relief was immediate. coughing was much less frequent, didn't feel like an elephant on my chest, headaches had ceased, and i slept well a couple of nights. actually had some energy to do some house chores and got a couple of "to do's" crossed off the list. it actually felt like i was beginning to be alive again.
i'm now at the point of tapering off on some of the meds and i can feel the backslide. the headaches are back but i can't tell if it's the med withdrawal or if it's the new glasses i got on saturday. i'll watch it for the next day or two but the doctor gave me a prescription for amoxicillan which was to be used for just this purpose (sinus infection may be the culprit).
busy bloggers
well.... not me, but everyone else in the family has taken the web to heart
:: my sister, debbie, is working on a site devoted to baths-- she's interested in getting into affiliate marketing
:: my mom has just put up a blog site which chronicles her journey into art and painting (and other stuff)
:: my nephew has just begun his own blog on blogger called dirtbikes&quads
i guess i'm waiting to see if dad wants to put up his own fishing site.... nah... i can't imagine him doing that.
