Well, here it is Saturday, and the past 2 days have been a haze.  I was supposed to attend a Memorial yesterday, but after spending the previous night coughing, and running a fever, I still got up and got “dressed up”.  I headed to the Farmer’s house and went in.

I could really feel the Love from the Farmer, especially when he stated “Good God girl, you look like shit”.    He’s always been quick with the compliments.  I believe I told him, I felt the same as I looked, and then proceeded to cough my way out of the room.  It was decided, I would go to the Urgent Care Center and forgo the Memorial, especially since it was going to be outside, and it was a balmy 28 degrees outside.

Might I also just slide in on a side note here, my Electrician was having some back “issues” yesterday morning and could not walk very well. I had to assist with him walking (more like hobbling) to the bathroom, and I helped him get his drawers down.    We did it amongst a bunch of giggles, but I have to be truthful here,  while I can “assist” Momma in her toilet activities, I am not quite prepared to help the Electrician with his.  When I left, he was sitting in the chair and trying to get his back to loosen up.  I knew he would be ok, because the Nursing Student was coming over to check on him, while I was gone.

When I left the Farmer’s I headed to the Urgent Care Center,  I think everyone in town was there for one reason or another, so I wrote down my name and had a seat.   I would truly like to give a heartfelt  ”thank-you” to the 1 receptionist, 2 nurses and 1 doctor, that manned the clinic yesterday.  The receptionist called my name, and apologized for the wait.  I told her not to worry, she then explained to me, they were short-staffed, and had already seen 25 patients in an hour and a half.    Uhm, that’s a bunch of sick people.

I finally got into the Doctor and was told, this “creepy crud” was going around.  I had an ear/sinus infection with some bronchitis thrown in for good measure.  So armed with my prescription, I hit the road to my local pharmacist.  Thankfully, he was open, took one look at me, filled my prescription and sent me on my way.

By the time I got home, my beloved Electrician was on the mend, and could walk almost normal.  I took my medicine, put on my jammers and armed with my box of kleenex, a glass of orange juice, my pillow and blanket, I have been holed up in my recliner for 2 days.

I ate dinner tonite, since I can now eat AND breathe at the same time.  I am a bit better, but am not leaving the confines of my trusty recliner.  I have talked to the Farmer on the phone, and he is throwing those compliments around again “You sound a little better”.  He’s a charmer that one.

The question has come up, as to why I got sick again.  One of the theories is because I smoke, while yes, that might contribute to it, it is not the reason I got sick.  If you follow my blog, you will know that the Electrician and I took a certain little “dude” to the doctor about a week ago.  The little dude, was diagnosed with ear infection and bronchitis.  Now, I’ve spent quite a lot of time with said little dude, and he does not always cover his mouth when he coughs, he tries, but well, he is 2 years old.

I am happy to say, he is almost over it, but I have it, and so does his Mom, the Nursing Student.  Seems a little odd to me, that little dude shared his sickness with his Mom and I, and not his Dad or the Electrician, but well, I guess I know who he likes to snuggle with.  (hehehe)

I have a feeling though, with all of the drugs the doctor gave me, I am kicking this thing to the curb soon.  Now if I can only get those guys in the snot factory to go on strike, I think I will have it made!
