*wheeze*

So.
I've been sick.
Again.
So it goes.

Those of you who read my facebook know this much already, so here's a bit more info.
Thursday I couldn't breathe, kept coughing myself into asthma attacks, and assumed I was on day 1 of bronchitis.  I went to the health center on campus and the doctor told me I was having an asthma flare, which I'd never heard of.  She gave me a nebulizer treatment, which did help some.
Friday, I went back to the health center for another neb treatment.  The new doctor told me I was probably developing a cold, so I could take a decongestant.  She was nice enough to give me a prescription for cough suppressant, so didn't keep coughing myself into asthma attacks, which made the neb treatment actually beneficial.
Saturday, I woke up feeling like crap.  I finally called my dad and asked him to take me to a walk in clinic.  I was still coughing on this day, but not wheezing.  It was a productive kind of cough as opposed to the wheezing cough of the two days prior.  I had a fever of 100 degrees, was lightheaded, and had intense pressure in my head.
SO.  Sinus infection it is.  As it seems that every ailment turns into a sinus infection for me. 

I love amoxicillin. Slept a lot during the rest of Saturday, then lounged Sunday.  Now, I still feel crappy but I can tell I'm getting better.

Now I just have to hope I'm well enough tomorrow to start dancing again.  I'm in enough trouble as it is for having missed Thursday.  At least I have a note for that one. 

And now, I need a quote.  hmmmm....

Ah.  I'm gonna roll with this one; it makes me feel better.
