Turns out what I thought was a severe case of allergies is, in fact, a cold.
By Sunday night, I was feeling pretty miserable. Monday morning, I headed off to the health unit to see if they could give me anything to treat it. I would like nothing more than be able to sleep at night!....oh and breathe. After being checked out, I was given my "prescription" - two hot showers a day and a saline nose spray. Wait? Where are my meds? I don't need antibiotics but I know you could give me something! "It'll run it's course". Yes, it probably will but I'm miserable.
Monday afternoon, Stewart met me at my office where our driver picks us up.
Being the nice, loving wife I am - turns out that I had already shared by cold with him and he was starting to feel as miserable as I.
A hot shower and nasty nose spray later, I'm not feeling any better and neither is Stewart. The whole night was spent tossing and turning, trying to breathe, and trying not to cough up a lung.
Today, we had an appointment at the health unit. The nurse practitioner yesterday seemed a little surprised that I wasn't feeling better. Our doctor's first remark when she walked in the door was "wow, you look like crap". Really, it was okay, because that's exactly how we were feeling. Stewart got the same "prescription" along with advice to drink warm orange juice.
We've been told it'll run it's course in 7-10 days. What a fun week we have ahead of us then......
