This cough is "whooping" my behind!!

This past week has kind of been a drag!  It started last Friday with a little cough that turned into a horrible cough that is still driving me nuts today! 

I had so much fun planned for last weekend, but I had to cancel all of my plans because I got sick. Instead of relaxing Saturday morning, I spent the morning at Care Now getting diagnosed with whooping cough.  They gave me a steroid shot, two antibiotics and a cough syrup with codeine to help the getting well process.  By Saturday night I was starting to feel better than I had the night before.  I decided one more day of rest before returning to work would do it and stayed in bed all day Sunday, continuing to take the meds as directed.  I work up about 3:15 am Monday morning with one of the worst head aches I have ever experienced in my life, no exaggeration.  I managed to fall back asleep, but when I woke back up to get ready for work, the head ache was even worse.  I could barely see my head ache was so intense.  I was also very nauseated and within an hour I started vomiting.  Luckily Chris had decided to work from home because after calling Care Now,  they said that I needed to come back in. There would have been no way I could have drove myself.  Once we got there they examined me and decided to run some test.  After everything came back ok, they finally determined that the codeine in the cough syrup was the cause of the pain.  They gave me another shot for anti-nausea and sent me home.  I slept for hours once home and felt much better once I woke up. I have just today started to feel back to my old self, although I still have this awful sounding cough.  It is super annoying and embarrassing.   

So as I said earlier this past week has been kind of a drag. I've felt bad, I had to cancel my fun weekend plans, I haven't cooked once, and I haven't accomplished any house work, all while having the annoyingly, awful, LOUD cough. 

On the bright side, it did give me the chance to finish the first and second book from the Hunger Games Series and I did learn that I am allergic to codeine.  So at least the entire week wasn't a waste!!

I hope everyone else had a better week than me and here is to an AWESOME weekend ahead!!

Anyone have any plans for Valentines Day weekend???
