I hab a code
Feb. 27th, 2013 12:01 pmAll last week the DH was fighting with a nasty cold, and ended up missing a day-and-a-half of work. (The half was when they sent him home with a temp of 102).
I knew I'd get it sooner or later, and now it's hit with a vengence. My sinuses feel like they are stuffed with cotton, I have the energy of a wet noodle, my left ear is stopped up and I have ringing in both ears, and I am starting to cough and hack. And I'm on my second soggie hankie.
But the worst is a couple of little things. I have a cold sore on my upper lip that feels like it's been slashed with a razor, and a sore cuticle on my right middle finger that feels like someone's stuck a needle in it. It *feels* like a huge hangnail, but there is no evidence of one. Just throbbing pain.
Why are these little things always so painful out of all proportion to their seriousness?
Fixing to have some apple juice and some more Tylenol and maybe fall asleep for a while. Ugh.
