School starts (for me) tomorrow and once again, I am sick. I shouldn't say again. I should say STILL. I've basically been sick for the past month. I started feeling crappy right around this time last month. We picked my sister-in-law up from work on December 14th because she was sick and her ride still had to work another 4 hours or so. Instead of going home, my husband brought her to our house to spend the night. I was already sick on the 17th when I took my first final exam. I felt sort of okay at Christmas. The 24th - 26th weren't too terribly bad. By the 27th, I was back in bed with this horrible whatever. I ended up seeing the doctor on the 2nd and after a round of antibiotics, I felt not terrible for 3 or 4 days last week. By Thursday I was pretty sick again. Today I am miserable.
I go back to the doctor on Wednesday. I would have liked to have gone today or tomorrow, but they didn't have any openings today and I have classes all day tomorrow. I don't think I should miss my first day of classes for the semester, so Wednesday is the best I could do. Now I just hope I can get through tomorrow. I spent all afternoon sleeping today. I took a 5 hour or so 'nap' around 2:00. I woke up around 7:00 and was up for about an hour. It's now 8:10 and I am back in bed, beginning to drift off to sleep.
I just want to be healthy and stay that way for a while. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I just want to feel well for a little bit. Between my mystery illness (that turned out to be severe acid reflux) and now this respiratory crap I was sick for the better part of 2012 and so far 2013 seems to be shaping up the same way.
