I am alive

Posted on | October 22, 2007 | 9 Comments

Just in case anyone was wondering.

Last Monday I woke up with a sore throat and it was all downhill from there.  I had a viral infection that led to the worst sinus infection I’ve ever had in my life, y’all.  I missed three days’ work and finally dragged myself to the doctor Friday for a steroid shot and confirmation that yes, I was really sick. 

Thanks to the miracle of modern medicine, I am on the mend!  I just poured up a cup of coffee – my first in a week.  A week!  Without COFFEE!  Food is starting to taste good again, too. 

Just in time for SAFF!!!  Hurrah!  If I had to get sick, I’m glad it was last week and not this. 

I’ve done quite a lot of feverish spinning (literally) and some comfort knitting, but lack of time and rainy weather conspired against my taking pictures this morning.  Tomorrow.

    I’m glad you’re on the mend. It seems to happen that way, doesn’t it? You look forward to something for so long and then SMACK, something smites you and makes you wonder if you’ll make it there after all. At least the Not-A-SAFF sweater is done, though.

    I had a sinus infection like that once. On Christmas. At my in-laws. Thank FSM for Walk-In Clinic.

    Glad you are on the mend. Hell is for sinus infection-causing bugs.
