I am currently fighting my first, and hopefully ONLY, cold of the season. Ugh, it arrived Thursday night as a minor scratchiness in my throat and by Saturday morning it was a full fledged, wheezing and hacking cold. I spent all day Saturday in my jammies on the couch, Sunday was feeling a little bit better and actually ventured out of the house to the grocery store and for a very short walk with Archie and Monday morning felt worse than I had all weekend.
I really tried to cure this naturally- using saline wash, drinking hot lemonade, getting lots of rest but this cold was not budging and by Monday morning I was desperate. I called the OB nurse to find out what I could take and she suggested some meds so I ran (literally) into Walgreens to find some relief.
I ended up staying home from work today, which I HATE to do (I'd rather use my PTO for something fun, right?!?) but I have still been coughing and sneezing and snotting all over the place that in a hospice facility it really was not safe for our patients and staff to have me there. Ironically enough, our furbaby ended up getting sick today too-twice! Momma and puppy are having a sick day together on the couch :)
This post is really an apology too since this cold has kicked me in the butt, HARD! We have yet to take my 18 week pic, even though today is the start of week 19 (ssshhhh!). I promise we'll get all caught up but for now the blog will have to wait until this momma is back on her feet. Thanks for your understanding and stay tuned- we have some exciting weeks ahead of us!
