erbieI'm sick. My little germ factory was sick last week and she lovingly passed it along to me. At night I'm wheezing and wondering if I should get up and suck down one of her Xopenex nebulizer treatments and if I don't, will I wake up later, unable to breathe, will I be able to get everything set up and take the treatment before I suffocate? I actually put all the stuff at the ready last night, in case I'd only have seconds after waking up to get my breathing passages open. (Yes, I am that dramatic.) Maybe I should email my doctor and ask her to call in an inhaler for me. I'm all crackly and wheezy.
During the day I'm leaking from all the holes in my face. You know that feeling, that itchy feeling, when you're going to sneeze, before you get to the actual sneezing point, where you look at a light to help move it along? I have that all the time. It makes my eyes water and my nose run. I could barely drive this morning because it was very bright out and I was having trouble keeping my eyes open because of the pre-sneeze feeling. Oh yeah, and I'm coughing too. Those deep chest coughs where you taste the smell of blood in your throat. We all had this very illness in December and now the little one and I have gone in for round two. She is on antibiotics because she had a RAGING ear infection early Sunday morning that kept us up from midnight to four with her screaming "Owie! Owie!" until we were finally able to convince her to take some ibuprofen.
It occurs to me that this is probably RSV. It has all the same symptoms. Whee!
PITY ME!
