Welp. My throat is slowly starting to feel better, but my nose is so stuffy and there is so much pressure in my head that I feel like it is trying to crush my face! LEAVE ME ALONE EVIL NOSE!! I suppose I can put up with it a bit more to get to the end goal of being able to breathe. I guess thats kind of important, right? The whole breathing thing?
My week has turned into one massive pharmaceutical cocktail, with a chaser of nasal spray. Some people may think that is the greatest thing ever, free meds! With refills! But unfortunately, not only am I mentally not really into abusing pain meds, my body physically is allergic to them and makes me sick every time I take one. Not trying to be all high and mighty here, but I am ready to be off of meds, and back to putting good stuff in my body that doesn’t make me sick.
This whole process has been draining. I have officially taken off an entire week of work, which would be fantastic if I was off on a tropical island somewhere drinking mai tais. Instead, I am alone on my couch watching movies in the dark. Hmph!
I have to say that sharing this with everyone has been really heart warming. In a big city like L.A, far away from your family and the friends you grew up with, it can start to feel a bit lonely. Like you are lacking that real genuine support system, you know, the ones who have known you forever. This time away has proven that I really have some great people here in the City of Angels who care about me. People at work have reached out to check up on me, completely unsolicited. Others have picked up the slack that I have left by not being around. Text messages have flooded in from Florida. Friends have sent emails with well wishes, and as always, my family and boyfriend have been on call round the clock to make sure I am ok. My brother even took me to the doctor, then pushed a trash can my way when I had to get sick in it. Thats true love right there!
Anyway, I am hoping this weekend I will feel well enough to stay out of the house for more than a quick bite to eat. I’d like to enjoy this SoCal sunshine without the interruption of a splitting headache or a nauseated stomach.
Thanks to everyone that is taking the time to read my rants. And for making sure I am ok. I really appreciate it.
