It seems that my lovely flu that I caught from Anna is now a sinus infection. It's presumed viral and so I just have to sit it out and wait until it decides to go away. I think I've started blowing chunks of my brain out of my nose. I swear something looked alive today and extremely dark green. I saw the doctor today and he told me to just keep drinking fluids. If my fever goes up over the weekend to come in and they'd do a strep culture just to be safe. He seems to think it'll clear up though.
My doctor has a wonderful bedside manner. He really listens and gives great advice. It's great that even though it's not private health care we still always have the same doctor. He remembers who I am and even asks about the family both here and in the USA. Much better service out here in the suburbs than in the city.
I've got one more week left of work presuming that I'm healthy by then. I hope I am healthy by Monday. JP is off for some army reserve practice and will gone all week from the 28th of January until the 4th of February. I've been on sick leave again and I think I'll have been on sick leave for nearly 2 months. The doctor did say something interesting things, by the way. He said that sometimes a very healthy person that is rarely sick will have occasional bouts of illness that seem to go on and on like I have. He said that the brain sometimes resets and forgets how to create all the antibodies that it has previously made. The body gets sick and remakes the antibodies and then the person will be healthy again as they usually are. I thought that was rather interesting as I'm rarely sick...maybe once a year and it never lasts long. This year I've been sick for the last 3 months or so. Of course he said it could also just be bad luck. Exposure to viruses at just the wrong time. Lucky me.
I have my next prenatal appointment on the 1st of February. I'll try to get a picture of my burgeoning belly sometime in the near future.
