Heyy everyone and happy Monday! I hope all of you who celebrated had a wonderful Easter yesterday or just had a great normal day….I know I didn’t. -__- Here’s my current tale of woe that left me feeling horrible AND incapable of even coming up with a comprehensive title for this post:
SO, as you guys know, I was really sick last week with the flu. It was awful, miserable, and every other bad adjective that I can think of. I had gone to the doctor, and he said not much could be done as far as medication goes to help get rid of my problem, but he did prescribe me some antibiotics to help ease some of my symptoms like my cough. I had started taking the antibiotics the following day and the day after, and I couldn’t notice a significant difference. But at that point, I was already starting to feel better on my own. By Friday, I was feeling well enough to be out and about, so like a fucking goon I thought that meant that I could stop taking my antibiotics. I mean, I was feeling better and they weren’t really helping any to begin with, so certainly that’s okay right? WRONG. Little did I know, you’re not supposed to stop taking the antibiotics until your prescription is completely done for risk of secondary infections. And naturally…this bitch got a secondary infection. I started feeling a little less than 100% on Saturday night, but I thought that I was just tired. Wrong, again. By the time I woke up on Sunday morning, I was in a right state of god awful. I was sweaty, dizzy, and out of breath even though I didn’t do anything but wake my sorry ass up. My body ached, my cough was coming back, and I was so upset I could have started crying. When I went downstairs to tell my mom the latest sucky news in the shit show that is my life, she immediately asked me if I was still taking my antibiotics. My mom is a doctor, and when I told her no she almost had a cow. “Didn’t I teach you better” and blah, blah, blah. So that’s when I learned that it’s a big no no to not take your meds! So for all of Sunday, I was stuck in bed feeling a hot ass wreck. Honestly, I felt more sick on Sunday than I did at any point during my stint with the flu. I was SO dizzy and clammy. It was weird because I was also hungry ALL the time yesterday. I had no appetite but I was so starving and even when I would eat, I was still hungry after. So I’m not really sure what that side effect means, but I don’t plan on Googleing it because I’ll probably convince myself that I’m dying. Anyways, here I am now, feeling better than yesterday but still not great by any means. I still have the aches and the sweats, so I guess today is another day of binge watching season two of Orange Is The New Black. I’m just so annoyed because this second sickness stint is completely and totally my fault, and now all there’s left for me to do is just wait to feel better again like I did before. #FML :(((
^^Basically me in a nut shell.
So here I am again a week later from my first Monday Update about being sick, writing another Monday Update about being sick. Worst. Week. Ever. I hope all of you are having a better day than mine! How was your Easter? Did you do anything special to celebrate. I wanna live vicariously through you (lol), so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
