My Friend Bonne Bell

Being sick is no fun! I have actually been pretty luck for awhile and haven't caught anything (amazing considering I was spending 12 hours in a preschool with 4 and 5 year olds)!!

But a few weeks a go I started feeling terrible. I went to work everyday that week, but by Friday my ear hurt so bad that I swear I could feel it in my brain and breathing was no fun either (especially at night). So I finally went down to the Urgent Care and surprise surprise I had and ear infection. The doctor prescribed Augmenten and I was really faithful about taking it every morning and every night.

The only problem was, I didn't feel like I was getting better. In fact, I felt like I was getting worse! By Tuesday I felt like I couldn't hear out of my left hear and all day Wednesday I had a terrible headache. So I went back down to the Urgent Care so they could look at my ear again.

The guy didn't even have the light thing all the way in my ear when he was like "Oh yeah, it's infected." He then listened to my lungs and told me he wanted me to go have some chest X-rays done.

Yeah.... I was kind of freaking out!! First off because I had to take chest X-rays, but mostly because I was wearing a horrible shirt!! I have had this shirt since probably like 9th grade, and yep, it's to small. But I was wearing a jacket over it so you couldn't tell, but when they make you take all the off..... yeah..... not fun!!

So when they got the X-rays back the verdict was Walking Pneumonia. And hear I was thinking I was just going in for my ear!! So they gave me two Z packs and sent me on my way!! Sleeping was still pretty hard and seriously one of the only things that got me through the night (beside my box of tissues) was by strawberry chap stick!! THANK GOODNESS for Bonne Bell and good old Lip Smackers!! I seriously went through like a tube and half of that stuff within a two week period!!

So even though being sick was really crummy, it did give me some time to catch up on some things. Like rereading Twilight and getting halfway through New Moon!! I also got caught up on some much needed sleep! And of course I had to watch some really good chick flicks like:

And, Gosh, I'm lazy I know!!

So after a few days I got a call from the Urgent Care place telling me they had sent my X-rays to a radiologist and he noticed some spots on my lungs. So of course I am freaking out in my head while the lady is trying to tell me that it is probably NO BIG DEAL THAT THERE ARE SPOTS ON MY LUNGS and after I am finished with my antibiotics they want me to come back in for more X-rays. So I went back today, totally expecting that they would say "You are good to go", but no...... the stupid spots are still there. I have to go to the hospital next week for a CT scan. Okay, I am not going to lie...... I am pretty freaked out about it. Again they are trying to make it sound like its not big deal, and hopefully it's not. But what if it is??? And yeah, I am not to overly thrilled about being shoved inside a small tube for a CT scan........ and geez all I went there for was my stupid ear!!! Ahhhhh!!
