downhill from there.   Saturday night at 3am, there was this earthquake (5.2) not a large one thank goodness, but enough to make me sit right up in bed and take notice that my overhead lamp was swaying in the movement.  Then there is this silence that follows... so I said to myself, "Get a grip, Suzan"   maybe I just imagined it...  but it was on the news the next day.....  


Then there's this cough that I've had for a week now and I have no voice left.... getting worse and worse by the second...  and then last night dh wakes up in the night screaming in pain , something was wrong with his eyes....   so off we went to the hospital emergency today and spent a good portion on our day there and getting all the meds perscribed.   I had 3 xrays, and the verdict is infectious bronchitis so am taking antibiotics and two other things and told to rest.   (yeah right, don't even know what the word means anymore LOL).   Dh was realy bad,, in so much pain.... come to find out that he burned the retina (like when you look at an eclipse without sunglasses??)  Well there was no eclipse, but he admitted to staring out the window of the airport (as we brought ds to the plane), at some workers who were welding some metal pieces....  so the light was totally amplified through the  glasss pane and his own glasses.....  (freak thing actually).  So he's got eye drops, and more eye drops, and told to stay in a dark room  ( I laugh at that idea.... dh can't sit still for 20 minutes much less all day).   Then he started getting a sore throat, and back to the hospital,,, and now he's on antibiotics for a tonsil infection.... We had 3 stops to make on the way home from the hospital which took 3 hours unfortunately,,, but could not be helped....   


Other than that we had a regular day.   How's your day going?  I'm off to bed now,,, really tired.....

((((((((((Hugs)))))))))) to you and your dh. That just stinks! I hope you both feel better soon. My day has rather mellow. I finished painting in the bathroom and got everything put back. Cleaned up all that mess, did laundry, took ds for a haircut and then ran to Walmart to get a few things and let him pick out a bike for his birthday. Unfortunately it's raining out so he can't ride it yet.
