i'm not gonna lie to ya, i'm sick. it's not pretty. it's not fun. it's actually quite pathetic, really.

if you can recall, i was actually pretty sick last year, for quite a while. well, it's back and it's back with a vengence. so, since it's december 15 and my insurance switches over on jan 1. i'm in a holding patern. my insurance as it stands, has a $750 deductible. i must have been on crack when i chose that plan. so, i've opted to move up for 2007. however, i have only paid about $120 towards that $750 so anything right now would be out of pocket. so, it's the principle of the matter. i refuse to go to the doctor. i have come to terms with self medicating. i went to walmart and stocked up on anything over the counter that could possibly help. so, advil cold and sinus, shower soothers, cloreseptic, halls, kleenex and zicam later, here i am. oh, and i'm also kind of taking some antibiotics that i have left over from the last time i was sick... (amber, don't tell your husband and no one mention that to any doctor you might know)

so, here's to hoping that i'll get better or at least be able to cope until january 1. and you know what? i have january 1st off... i might go to the emergency room even if i'm healthy, just because i can. :O)

i wonder if i could mix a sleeping pill in with the rest of the junk i'm taking...probably not.

a friend of mine asked if i had gotten a flu shot and i never did. i never have. i've never needed to. though it may be a new tradition for 2007.

good night all and don't forget to get your flu shot!

DON'T TAKE OLD DRUGS! They can do more harm than good! (I know that in California taking ANY kind of drug is okay but, you're a doctor's grandkid. You should know better! ;0))

We'll be praying for you. Feelong bad is NO fun!

Not that I told your story to Ryan or anything, but he wanted you to know that you are contributing to antibiotic resistance plaguing the country...and that you better not come crying to him when all of CA comes down with some sort of super infection...

Sorry you're not well again! Hope the soup helped!! i agree w/ Amber about the anitbiotics...
AND...I've not had a flu shot but i've heard it makes it worse! Not sure it's worth the risk!!!
Anyway, Take LOTS of VIT.C and Zinc and drink lots and water!!!
Get better soon!!!

By the way, I know that Florida is ALSO known for a lot of drug use, but we're all old and feeble here and about to die anyway.... so, what the heck...
