Pitiful Me

And here's another surprise I didn't need: I woke up with a sore throat, so I drank hot tea all morning at work while I tutored math students. When my Sudafed and Ibuprofen wore off I was miserable. I'd been pushing myself to work because we have been short-staffed, but now I really felt bad. I made arrangements at work for someone (thanks, Pamela) to cover and help out, and I left. The doctor says I have asthmatic-bronchitis and/or pneumonia. He gave me 3 shots, a breathing treatment and 5 prescriptions. I am supposed to take 2 classes at Patchwork Cottage on Saturday. What should I do? Cancel now, or wait and hope I get better? Well right now I am going to bed. Oh yeah, and tomorrow's my birthday.... bummer.

Karmen,
This is not your week. Tough when our kids get sick and then we get it.
I would wait and see how the meds work. If you cancel now and feel better, you will kick yourself;)

Get rest and drink lots of watered down OJ, that is my trick to flushing out chest colds.

Think good happy quilty thoughts and you will be better by Saturday! I bet by Friday night all the medication will have kicked in and you will be better. Get lots of sleep!
