(Not to be confused with dropping a kid)

I have started two posts this week, but haven't finished either of them. It's been a really rough week in my household. Ya'll, I'm sick. I started coming down with this mess last week when I was so thirsty, remember? It has progressed to some kind of horrible infection in my head. I couldn't breathe through my nose at all (up until yesterday), I can't hear because my ears are stopped up, and I can barely speak because my throat is so raw. I went to see the OB Monday (becasuse remember my Friday appt. was cancelled), who completely dismissed my obvious illness. He said to drink plenty of liquids and get plenty of rest. HA! Hardy damned har har. I wasn't able to function all weekend and you think liquids are going to make me better? Yesterday morning I woke up and I could barely talk. My throat was so raw that I was coughing up specks of blood. I called the OB nurse and absolutely broke down. I cried and cried when I told her that something was wrong, and that I was really sick, and that the (fucking) Dr. just acted like I was some whiny pregnant woman when I told him on Monday, and that if I were to go into labor today I didn't think I had the strength to go through it. She said I needed to get to a doctor NOW! I was so relieved to hear her (or anyone!) finally agree with me. She said to go to my family Dr. for the sake of time, which I did. Turns out I DO have a severe sinus infection that has just gone haywire in my head. He gave me an antibiotic, and I swear, after just 2-3 pills I could feel the difference. I am finally able to breathe, my throat is still scratchy, but not as raw, and maybe, just maybe my ears will pop soon. I am so mad at that Dr. I saw Monday (he's not my regular - I rotate between all the drs. in the practice). The only good thing out of that visit is that he told me I am 1.5 cm dialated, and 60% effaced. Maybe when I go tomorrow (not seeing him again!) this doctor will tell me I'm 6cm! and I need to go to the hospital! < / wishful thinking> That would be the perfect end to a suck ass week. (speaking of week...the weather this week has been cra-zee! It snowed Friday, Saturday, & Sunday...was in the mid-60's Wednesday and Thursday, and is supposed to snow/sleet again tomorrow night through this weekend! It's bi-polar weather!! Can't make up it's mind!)

And finally, my overdue meme for Jamie.....
