For the last two to three weeks, I've been feeling a bit under the weather. It started with a sore throat and slowly moved to my head and sinuses. I finally went to see the doctor yesterday when the dizziness and pressure was too much. Her response was "You've been sick for awhile. I do not think it has turned into a bacterial infection but we should take care of this now." Four different drugs later....
I realize this is usually my time of year to get sick but I have honestly been trying to push through the illness in hopes that it will miraculously go away. I've been too busy with work, too busy with training, too busy trying (and failing) to get my life in order. I realize as I sit here and write this that I need to take care of me because no one else will. I need to make sure I am getting what I need physically and mentally to get through the day and take care of everything else. When I start feeling sick, I need to assess how I can feel better. When I avoid doing something, I need to determine why I am practicing avoidance. I am the only one who can take care of me and I need to start doing that from here on out.
I have spent the last two days at home exhausted waiting for the sinus pressure to lift. I have been trying to do work despite being incredibly dizzy and home sick. I've been trying to focus despite my head pounding. I haven't run since Sunday and all I want to do is sweat.
On my way to get my medicine from CVS, I had the cruel awakening of winter...I slipped and fell on a sheet of ice. So now aside from my headache, my butt is also killing me.
Maybe staying inside on the couch for another few days is a good idea.
