It just feels really weird to be sitting around home on a Sunday morning. I haven't been able to visit our new grandbaby since he was born either. I am taking this in stride knowing he's just around the corner and I can see him when I'm over this crud. It's just another weird for me though, and I am feeling very surreal.......
For the past two days I have been in major pain....sinus infection, and not just any sinus infection. My eyes are black and my face feels like someone hit it with a baseball bat. Is this the new "superbug" of sinus infections? I mean, I've been on antibiotics for three days and I am still dying here. My doctor informed me that my face was contorted and swollen. What a relief to know it wasn't just because I ate well at Christmas! This brings up some daunting questions: Does this mean that I can expect to look thinner when this is all over? Do sinus infections travel to other parts of the body? (I hear you laughing out there!) Will I ever eat anything but chicken soup again? Will sinus infections become the new fad diet?
"Hey Julie, I have a sinus infection."
"Great! I'll be right over so you can share the germs."
"Don't forget to buy a case of chicken noodle soup before you come."
I have a feeling that this is a fruitless pursuit.
Being the brave person that I am, I decided two days ago to take the high road and endure the pain rather than take Tylenol, aspirin, or Ibuprophen since pain medicines just tear up my tummy. I'm already at my limit for pain this week. I thought I was doing great.....all that enduring and stuff, but this morning I found my lips were beginning to quiver. My hubby took one look at the tears welling up in my eyes and said a tender, "I love you, Honey" and then headed out to church.
But not without turning around to give me me one last "Hurrah," and a thumbs up. As I stood there, watching him go a voice said, "Remember the pioneers."
Okay, today is just weird...........
