I HATE BEING SICK

It's been a long time, but sickness has finally caught up with me.  For several days now I have had swollen gums on the right side.  I thought, "Oh no.  Now I have to find a dentist quickly."  My dentist died last year and finding one I like is a daunting task.  I know I have to, but I hate dentists to begin with and finding one that doesn't hurt and understands my fears is not easy.

A couple of days after the gums, my right ear started hurting.  I washed it out with peroxide and when it got hot I figured I had an ear infection and that was affecting my gums.  Then last night it was my sinuses and I started running a fever.

Today I gave in and went to the doctor.  He said my glands are also swollen and I have a major infection in my head.  He gave me a flu shot and a prescription for antibiotics.  I took one when I got home from the pharmacy, ate lunch and laid down on the sofa.  Five hours later I woke up and I feel much better.  I'm not completely wonderful, but so much better.

It's back to work for me tomorrow, but I really did the best thing for myself staying home today and sleeping.
