Sickness Continues for Both of Us

Yesterday I felt like dung.  Today I feel like dung again.  Sniffles, sneezing, lots of coughing, stuffy head, post nasal drip, all sorts of garbage like that.

Still, it doesn’t measure up to what we feared about my wife yesterday.

Jen has had a rough time with antibiotics lately.  After stopping her course of antibody number two, she had a nasty headache on Wednesday.  Yesterday evening it came back, along with some weird sensations on her face.  The emergency room was recommended by her doctor’s office.  It turned out to be just another mild illness piled on top of the other nastiness she’s been fighting off for three weeks or so.  She’s okay, just not feeling terribly well.

They took her out of the room to do some tests and I fought my nerves by playing with hipstamatic… as usual.

I even took a creepy hipsta-selfie.

Today we get to see how the new antibiotic goes.  Her work schedule is very full today, so I haven’t heard anything from her.  I sent her a “how ya feelin'” email, but no word yet.  I take that as a good thing.  If she were feeling sick she’d tell me.

I love her.

I adore her.

I want her to be feeling better.

Really, Mother Nature?  Really?  You’re dumping this crap on us today?

My cold is back.  I suppose this is black plague day 13535236 or so.  This sick just won’t go away.  I am working from home today.  If I had to make the long drive in to the office I probably would have called in sick.  I am so tired of this.  Jen, my beautiful, beloved wife, was feeling awful again yesterday too.  She’s better today, but can we get a break please?  I would be grateful for a little stretch of time where I didn’t have a box of tissues glued to me.  This blows!  (pause as the narrator blows his nose… again)

The Black Plague: Day Two

I’m still sick. I was hoping to be well enough to go back to work today, but its not happening. I spent the whole day in bed yesterday. I slept a lot, and the rest of the time I just lay there with my eyes closed. I tried to keep myself hydrated, but its tough to drink clear liquids when you are asleep. In did my best though.

I’m going to head back to bed now until its time to call work. I didn’t eat anything yesterday, so maybe after I call in I might try a piece of bread or something.

Want to hear the best part of all of this? Jen has it too. She left work early yesterday and called in this morning. Merry freakin’ Christmas.
