It's been a week since my last post and I regret to say that I have not been awake for the majority of the last week. Last Wednesday I came down with an awful sinus infection that kept me in bed for about five days and I'm still not over it. Honestly at this point I realize I probably should have gone to the doctor and I would potentially be done with this by now. However I hate to go to the doctor and don't like taking anti-biotics. I'd rather let my immune system tackle it and learn to fight it better.
Funny story to go with this whole thing though....... I'm afraid of Nyquil. The last time I took it I was in high school and then had to sleep the entire next day in order to get over the stuff. However last night desperate times call for desperate measures and so I resorted to Nyquil to get some sleep. I took the normal dose and still was coughing and not sleeping. I took a bit more and finally fell asleep. However I woke up at 5:30 this morning and nearly unable to open my eyes due to the crust that had built up. I went to the bathroom to wash my face and my eyes were swollen, completely red, and looked like I had pink eye. I freaked out and was ready to pack my bag and go home to mom to take care of me. Really.... worst sinus infection ever and double pink eye!! However I made myself go back to bed and when I woke up at 8:15 I was fine. My eyes are still a little puffy but no actual pink eye. Apparently the Nyquil made me sleep so hard that my eyes over produced "sleep" and made it look like I had pink eye. I officially am never taking Nyquil again!!!!! Seriously it's not worth it!!!!!
Until then......
