. . . . which is good news at least. Last night I could hardly sleep again because of my sore throat. It just seemed to be getting worse, kind of like it did around this time last year. That time though I felt much much worse because we'd just flown home from Florida and the pressure in the airplane had made my ears really blocked and my head felt like it was about to explode, not to mention the severe throat pain I had too.
Last night my throat just seemed to be so dry and like it was scratched really bad. I felt like I didn't sleep all night. Jason came home around 1am from the concert and I never even heard the garage door go up, so I must have been alseep some times. I did hear him come to bed at 2am though, and after that I felt like I was awake all night. I woke up around 6.50 and despite feeling really tired still I decided I would get up and try to get some quiet time on my own. What do ya know? Kristen was already up - again! She said she got up at 6am! I don't know how she does it when she seems to be awake til after 9pm each night.
Anyway, I just felt miserable when I did get up this morning, and I knew I couldn't go through another day with the pain in my throat, not to mention the pain in my nose and face which was getting worse too. I was thinking I probably had a sinus infection. So at 7.45am I decided I'd head to the 'emergency care' doctors that opened at 8am and where you could just walk in and not have to make an appointment. Long story short, I now have 10 days of antibiotics to take. Tonight my throat doesn't hurt so much so I'm hoping I will sleep a bit better, but my nose is fully blocked up. The dr didn't say for certain if I had a sinus infection but he did agree that I needed some meds if things were getting worse and not improving over several days.
I hope I feel better after a good nights sleep. Thank you for all your well wishes. I'm sure I'll be right as rain in a few days :-)

Awwww...that doesn't sound like fun being all stuffed up with your throat so sore. Good to get onto it and get some antibiotics to help. I'm actually doing better today compared to yesterday. I gargled my throat and had plenty of hot tea and I actually think it really helped. Usually it would have gone to my chest already, so I'm very pleased that hasn't happened. I hope Jason and Kiki don't get it too.
I'd say Kiki's body clock is used to waking her up, hence she wakes up even if she's on school holidays. Does she occupy herself when she gets up, or is she looking for you to get up also?
Just leave the Scrabble until you feel better. Don't won't you to worry about that when you're not well.
Take care and drink lots.
Big hugs.
Hi Denise! Sorry you're still sick but it is good it's not strep. Hope the antibiotics help. So what is Kristen doing to occupy herself when she's awake and you're still in bed? That's cute that she lets you sleep! (((Hugz)))
Hey you! I'm sorry you're feeling so icky this week but I'm glad the Dr has given you something to help you along the way and that you're already feeling a bit better :-)
I wish you could come spend a week with us up here while Jason's away too! One day I hope you'll make the trek to Canada! You have to see Niagara Falls at least once in a lifetime I think ;-)
Hope you're feeling even better tomorrow.
Love ya xo
Hi Denise, boy I hope the meds help. It is simply terrible when you feel icky. Plenty of liquids and rest. Ya hear? Hope your feeling better by the time you get this.
Hugs!
