What a week!

It started out with me going to the doctor for another sinus infection Monday. He gave me some antibiotics (biaxin) and sent me on my way. I left work early that afternoon after I had gotten done the things that had to be done that day. Late that afternoon, William calls to say he had a wreck riding his mountain bike after work and fell on his shoulder. When he gets home he's in a lot of pain. I tried to get him to go to Convenient Care but he'll hear nothing of it (men!).

By Tuesday, the medicine is really making me sick to my stomach. I still feel bad and have nausea and diarrhea to boot. William is not any better at all so I stay home from scrapping to take care of Rylie since he can't pick her up.

Wednesday I stay home from work because I get sick again when I get up out of the bed that morning. I called the doctor's office and got a new prescription. William is worse but still is adamant about not going to the doctor. He says he'll go the end of the week if it's not better.
Since, he still can't pick Rylie up she stays home with me. I thought about taking her to daycare myself, but I didn't feel good enough to get ready and get her there myself. She was really good though; we watched movies on the couch and she slept for about 3 1/2 hours in the afternoon.

Thursday, I'm better stomach wise, but my throat is killing me now since I've been off of any antibiotics for 1 1/2 days. I get a new prescription of antibiotics. This time it's Amoxicillin 875 mg twice a day! William is still in pain and still refuses to see a doctor. I won't bring it up again. He now refuses to take anything for pain because his chest has been hurting and he says it's the pain medicine; all he's had is OTC tylenol and advil! I tried to tell him he's probably got the same bug that's affecting me and Rylie. No, it's the pain medicine. STUBBORN!!!

Friday, he makes it through a little easier finally, so he's even more convinced now that he's done nothing to his arm. (there's that stubborness again) I'm a little better, but coughing now. Thankfully I have some cough medicine here that I take at night. I promised Rylie that we'd camp out on the couch bed for the night so we sleep there. I finally get her down a little after 9 and she sleeps until around 7:30. A little less sleep for her than usual, but good for me because I think I was asleep by 10 myself. :)

That's one week I'm sure glad is over!
