Mom Is Still Sick
Mom Is Still Sick
Welp, I thought I was getting better, but that was just a fever dream. I finally ended up going to the doctor yesterday so I could officially win the “Who is the sickest” battle between me and the Hubs (and get some relief). I have an ear infection and a sinus infection and my throat is even more on fire than it was before. I got an antibiotic and so far I’m not convinced it’s working.
Not to be outdone, the Hubs went to the doctor this morning because he too felt like he wasn’t recovering. He was told he had no infections, but “maybe something could be happening” in his lungs, so he got steroids and an antibiotic. Come on, doc. I actually have a bad cough. Grrr.
When I complained to the Hubs, he said, “You just need to tell the doctor what you want.”
Excuse me?
Is that how men go to the doctor? They tell the doctor what they want? I’ve never told the doctor what I want. For me, the doctor’s office is like Target, I let them tell me what I need.
Clearly, the Hubs knows what he’s doing though because I’m in bed and he’s up and out living his life. Maybe tomorrow I’ll go back to the doctor and tell them what I want, but for now I’m going to stay in bed as long as I can.
Always always tell them you want a steroid. Call it a “steroid boost”. Sounds less “druggy.”
Hope that you are feeling better and getting back into your routine. Being a sick Mom sucks!! The only silver lining is that it gives us a chance to binge watch shows without feeling guilty (at least for me).
