So niherlas is right, it can get a lot worse. Though, ironically the predicted power of the sinus infection is the least of the problems. Now I've got an adenoid on the left side that is roughly the size of a golf ball. You can actually see it. It looks like I suddenly got really fat and my jowls sagged... but just on one side. The pain this causes is excruciating. I fear what Mera is going to feel like when she wakes as she had the same pain on the same side. This indicates that the lymph attack is pretty much the standard course for this virus.
Other than that, I actually feel better. The headache and sensation of fever are gone. I'm actually even fighting off the sinus infection just with over the counters and a lot of tea. In the absence of the golf ball in my throat, I probably would have made it without the 'biotics. We try to avoid them whenever possible.
On that note, DrC ordered antibiotics last night but the damn pharmacy closed before I could get them. Ugh. Don't know if that's good or not. In some ways, the fact that my gland system has gone bat shit indicates that it's doing it's job. If it didn't feel like someone had taken a hot poker and rammed it through my ear, tongue and down the throat to get the damned thing in place, I wouldn't bitch. Again, my big worry is Mera. We'll see how she's doing when she wakes up. DrC is symptomatic but insists his flu is "stress related." *rolls eyes* His Macho Maleness does not allow for just being sick, the asshat. I'll give him this, he's a hell of a lot less sick than we were. Knocked out and down for the count yesterday (which is incredible knowing him) but not dead to the world.
And of course today is Aeron's birthday party. Really. This is effing absurd. Last year, I kept postponing it until we agreed to do a half birthday. Then I postponed it until it became this year's party. I can't move it. I'm not infectious and neither is Mera. If she wakes up healthy, we're having this party. I've decided, however, that the theme is "The Crew of S/V Don Quixote didn't have a chance to get Aeron's party together!! Can you help?" It'll be like Blue Clue's except live action and with lots of cupcake sprinkles.
