It only took 10 days...

....of coughing and feeling like death to make an appointment with my PCP. It's funny once you become a parent; you pretty much stop paying attention to yourself. I'm a healthy person and when I do get a cold, I just push through. Let's face it, I don't have time to be sick and there are no sick days as a stay-at-home parent.

I was relieved when I called my doctor's office and they told me to come in at 9:20 TODAY! I quickly dressed the kids and myself and out the door we went. I saw my doc and she diagnosed me with a sinus infection. After realizing that I am allergic to Penicillin AND sulfa, she decided on Erythromycin and a cough syrup with codeine.

Sooooo hopefully, I start feeling better by tomorrow. The weather is warmer these days *scratches head* which is odd considering it is JANUARY! It's supposed to be in the 60s this weekend and I really don't want to miss another Team In Training group run.

Shockingly enough, I was able to run 3 miles on the treadmill last night without coughing. However, I had a nice cough attack during yoga...yeah that was nice and embarrassing. The icing on the cake was when my nose turned into a faucet. Ever do downward facing dog while  your nose is running?! It's not much fun.

I'm currently waiting for my prescriptions to get filled. The nice thing about CVS is that you can log on and see the progress. 1 prescription is ready for pickup and the other is still being filled...sigh. As you can see, I am anxious to take them and start feeling better.

If you know me, then you know that I am an impatient person. I went ahead and picked up my antibiotic. I have to take it 4 times a day. I went ahead and set up an alarm on my phone so that I don't miss a dose. I take getting better pretty seriously.

How long do you wait until you go to the doctor?
