Well my doctor gets a big ole' pbthhht/raspberry! I have a sinus infection. Always get one a year. So it's time for it. I'm sure it was from my sick Dgs that had it last week. I rarely catch anything that is going around. But hey, it was time. I went to the doctor yesterday to get some antibiotics. Because if it got worse over the weekend, I was going to have to wait until Monday. Sucks living in a small, Monday through Friday town. After I got off work, I went to the drug store to pick up my perscription. My doctor had called the one I can't take! What's wrong with her! Can't she read my chart!?? When I tried to call the doctor's office to get a new perscription, they had closed! So now I'm a whole weekend without meds.
I did work yesterday. I was glad to finally get home. Would have loved crashing in the bed, but had grandkids getting of their buses and snacks to cooks. I had to be Grandmama. Always worth it. They did settle down and let me get a short nap before their Mom came and picked them up.
Supper was a bust. Dh worked late and by the time he called to let me know he was on his way home, I was in no mood to cook...well for the both of us. He had Zaxby's and I fried some shrimp that needed cooking. I may be sick, but was still in Julia Child mode..lol. Dh can't eat shrimp. But that was all I had to eat. Didn't last too much longer after supper and my bed was calling my name. It didn't have to call to me for too long.
Today, oh man did I ever want to call in sick! My head was trying to explode. If I had been working with the full time girl, my butt would have stayed home. I made it until we got the day turned over and the office balanced, I was out of there! Just in time for my sister to come into the store. I was so ready to get home and to my bed, but it's not often I get to spend time with my sister. So my bed had to wait. We shopped around and I ended up buying her a Nintendo Wii. I knew she was wanting one and had been trying to find out if she had already bought one. So she was happy as a little kid. We then came to my house for coffee. That perked me up some. By the time she left I was getting hungry.
I had been wanting some chicken and dumpling. I must say I have out did myself. It hit the spot. Dh just called to let me know he was on his way home. I told him if he wanted something to eat, he better stop and get him something. He doesn't eat Chicken and Dumplings. Hard to believe that guy is southern sometimes.
So that's how things been going for me. Hope it's been going better for all of you.
((hugs))

That's really stupid when the Docs don't get the RX right. Don't they have computerized records? I love that I no longer must print a list of what I'm taking, because he brings it up on the screen. I can't imagine how your managed to work with a sinus headache. What kind of pain killer did you take. I wound up using my back RX that has codeine, just so I could sleep lastnight. The right side of my nose & right eye are throbbing, so suspect I have infection. Are there other signs of infection besides pain? I'm trying to hold out going the clinic, because my annual physical is scheduled for next Weds.
How great that you were able to get just what DSis wanted. She's gonna have a lot of fun with that and think of you often.
Despite this misery, I ran a few errands today. Temp was 40 and I needed to get out of the house. Found chopped steak and chicken breasts on sale, so am gonna fill the oven tonight and not need to cook for a few days. Steak will be mixed with ground turkey to make meatloaves, chicken will go in roasting bag with veggie. I have 2 forlorn yams that need to be baked also. Need to rest a while before I start all the cooking - I'm beat from just that little activity. Still not sleeping well, too much coughing.

Do you have a 'weekend' coming up so you can rest? I hope you got something to relieve your sinuses. Next time you are at a doctor on a Friday, ask for some samples of what you need. Salesmen leave samples with a doctor for that reason.

Jacquie, my doctor is in her 60's and is trying not to go digital on the medical records. This is unusual for her to make such a mistake.
Kathey, yeah my 5 days off is coming up. But it's my last 5 days to get ready for Xmas. So no laying around until I feel better. That was another reason for going to the doctor so quickly.
Hi Shirley,
I'm distressed that not only did the physician's office request a drug that is documented in your record to be off limits, but when they called it to the pharmacy the pharmacist

Donna I took some Benadryl Allergy and Sinus headache. I can't believe I slept all night and feel MUCH better this morning. My throat still hurts. But at least I can breath now.

Deb we are very small town. I could have gone to the hospital and got some meds, but the wait and then insurance wouldn't have paid anything because it wasn't an emergency. (Although I did feel like I was dying!).

Melissa my pharmacist DID catch it. They had tried to call too. They ask me when I came in to pick it up what was I allergic too. Just to be sure their records were right. So at least they are on the ball. I'm not sure if I'm allergic or just had a bad reaction to it. Either way I can't take it. Yep, they will hear from me, if I can talk.
((hugs))
