Dare I Say I'm Feeling Better?

I am. Of course 12 hours ago I was still feeling pretty freaking miserable and some tyeln0l c0ld and sinus and some advil hadn't helped much. So as much as I don't want to take any unnecessary medications I put on enough clothes to be considered decent (although it turned out not particularly clean as I noticed stains down the front of my shirt later) and headed off to the local urgent care. Some antibiotics and a shot of steroids in the ass to decrease the inflammation in my sinuses and so very slowly I feel as if I'm feeling better. I think. Of course the antibiotics were an arm and a leg but Target was wonderful and gave me $20 in gift cards for filling my prescriptions there (where I had filled them before but not recently) which covered about half of my after Christmas specials. Or maybe it was a third. At any rate I'm hoping by the time I head back to work on Monday I'll be all better.
I've also managed to get mostly all caught up on my reader. I only have 19 things left there, 17 of which are Mel's and 2 of which belong to this fabulous blog by another RN who posts things that make me laugh about the crazy life of being a nurse. Her blog unfortunately though went password protect sometime in the last week or so and I can't get to it anymore. Darn it. If she doesn't come back I'm going to miss that one.

Glad to hear your feeling better. I was catching up on your recent posts and read your thieves post. That is so weird...I'd never heard of people ripping off other people's Christmas decorations until my cousin was visiting last week. She lives in Visalia and several of her things were stolen too. So, that must be a common thing in that area? That just sucks...nice Christmas spirit, eh?!

That sounds so crappy. Hopefully that shot is the caboose is helping things get better!

Yay for the meds and for the gift cards!

Hope you're on the way to feeling all better.
