This has been my life for the past couple of days. My sinuses decided to rebel against some allergen that was floating around, leaving me with a clogged up, foggy head.
I guess the nice thing is that I've gotten to lie around and try to get better. This is such a switch from college days. Getting sick while in college was such a nightmare because tests still occurred, papers were still due, and catching up always seemed impossible.
The horrid fall of 2006 comes to mind. I had I don't know how many sinus infections before my doctor sent me to an ENT who ran a CT scan. He told me that the anatomy of my sinuses were all messed up, that I had a deviated septum, and that I needed surgery. Yup. That was a fun semester. Can I just say that my grades weren't exactly the best? However, after the surgery, this crazy thing happened: I could breathe through my nose. And crazier than that, the number of sinus infections significantly decreased. :)
David's been wonderful about insisting that I rest and not do anything more than watch TV. He watched Becoming Jane with me (it's a movie about the life of Jane Austen), rented more Gilmore Girls DVDs for me, washed dishes, and hasn't complained about the lack of real dinners, the sink full of more dishes, or the fact that the only place to find clean socks and underwear is in the laundry basket (they've been washed; I just somehow couldn't put them in drawers until this afternoon).
But as much as I've enjoyed an excuse to watch hours of TV (specifically, girlie stuff that I try not to torture David with) and getting to sleep 10 hours (at least...), I was getting a little tired of walking around with the tissue box, blowing my nose, and talking with a stuffy nose.
Here's to life not sick :)
