3 weeks later....

3 weeks, 25800615 coughs, one patient husband, 24 (at least) pomagranet popcicles, one urgent are visit, one far too expensive doc. office fee, three medications, over 65 dollars for those perscriptions........

I am finally on my way to health yet again. As if I am ever healthy, lets be honest here. I am almost positive I have been sick more times in the three and a half years I have lived here then I had in the 20 before that. Super!!

diagnosis (sp?): pneumonia.
cause: inversion. That's all, literally.

I have spent the last three weeks of my life anduring sleepless nights to every extent of the word to wake up in the morning and go serve the lovely people of Salt Lake at my most favorite job, and it has really made me a happier human being. I ant explain it, and I am sure at one point I will look back and wink up at heavenly father and say you little trickster you ;) at one point I honestly looked up (like I did when I was a little girl) and asked him, are you testing me? How can I pass?please, I must sleep. Amen.

I am blessed to have the most amazing parents in the world. They are imperfect and raised and imperfect child but they are the wonders of my world... And I am proud to be a product of their views and values. I alled them and begged to help me pay for the doctor visit, they did. Of ourse. And just in time. Anyway- the doc. Perscribed a steroid, and anti biotic and a sleep aid. I was terrifyed to take any of these. They scared me, but I did. I started the antibiotic yesterday but skipped the sleep aid in fear that I would have some crazy ambien trip and start yelling random nothingness at Tanmer. BUT this morning I took the steriod, all 4 pills at once. Yikes! It said on the bottle may cause you to feel wired and dizzy, lack of sleep... Bla bla bla. Well this afternoon I quite literally felt like I was on speed. I was an embarrassment at work. High as a kite. Now it is 6am and I am still awakr, blogging. I have not slept in weeks and here I am now feeling much better but alas, I am still not into slumber. Boo! ALSO I did take the sleep aid tonight, nothin' doin'. Excellent!

The entire reason for this blog post being my need to state how lucky I am. Tanner has been THE biggest trooper. He started work this past week so he has been getting up early at 7 to get there by 830. He couldn't have been getting much sleep considering my loud coughs probably woke up half our complex, and I also know this because he was constantly rubbing my back as I sat up all night long.

love you.
