Sicker than Sick

Silly me for not posting in so long, but I literally have been sick for a month. After a few weeks, I gave in and went to the doctor. Other than my flying medical every year, I haven't been to a doctor because I was sick in over ten years! Now I have been three times in three weeks! I just back back from yet another visit this morning. We were treating what we thought was a severe sinus infection, but the second antibiotic still hasn't kicked in. I have been achy, exhausted, and just plain SICK for almost four weeks! Working and traveling the past three weeks didn't help. Luckily, I have this week at home. I told my boss I was going to stay home until I could figure out what was wrong and get over it! The airplane isn't flying this week, and, if it does, my boss will fly in my place. I just hope I can beat this in the next few days!

Something I am not used to doing is taking it easy, but I haven't had any choice this past month. I have had no energy to do ANYTHING. I know it's sad when brushing my teeth wipes me out! And I had to get some shampoo at the store last week...and my arm was shaking from the weight after carrying it to the register! I have had brief moments of hope where I thought maybe I was starting to get better, but an hour later I am back to being good ol' sick yet again!

I have had lots of great support and advice from many friends and family. Gracias!

Someday, hopefully soon, I will be feeling better. I have pictures to post from my travels this past month, including a cold week in Canada and a visit to the Hershey factory near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Stay tuned, and if I don't die, I will post before you know it!
