Almost better....

So I have been oober sick since Wednesday. I went to the Dr. on Thursday and they did a strep swab and it came back negative. When Dr. Lucore listened to my lungs she said they didn't sound very clear, so I had to go have an x-ray done. The x-ray came back the next day as negative for pneumonia (without spell check, I'd never spell that darned word right). She basically just told me I have a virus and to take some benedryl and gurgle Epsom salt water (yuck). Well...My coughing got super worse and I started running a fever, so she then prescribed me a zpac and an enhaler (I was also having a tough time taking full breaths). I bought some Robitussin for my cough and now 3 days later I'm starting to feel a little better. It seemed like it had to get worse before it got better, so it can only go up from here. I'm still coughing here and there, but NOTHING like the other nights. I kept Jared up for 2 nights in a row practically dying of coughing fits, I felt terrible because he had to get up at 4 am to work BOTH nights. Poor guy. He puts up with a lot from me...Anyway the whole floor on my side of the bed is covered in used tissues (yeah, I know EWW). I think I went through a whole box of Kleenex in 3 nights. I still look like a zombie, but I do feel like I'm getting better. I hate being sick! I missed out on the Breaking Dawn Part 2 big showing ( yeah I'm one of THOSE), I missed out on my whole weekend pretty much. I missed Church this morning, which I always hate. It was also our Thanksgiving dinner today at Church, so I hated missing that. So yeah it's just been me, the bed or couch, tv and computer for the past few days.....I'm done whining now.
