sniff sniff

I'm sick. I get sick about 5 times a year like this. Its miserable. Except I don't remember it ever really being this bad. I don't like to lay down cause all the pressure goes to my head, but I'm so tired its all I want to do, but when I actually lay down to go to bed, I can't sleep! and you want to know the worst part? I can't taste anything. I ate my favorite candy..kitkat...and I could have been eating asparagus for all I knew. I couldn't even taste the chocolate goodness. I hate it. I was going to go to cafe rio for dinner, but then I decided not to because I wouldn't be able to taste the amazing pork anyway, so I settled for 2 tacos at del taco cause it would fill me and it was much cheaper, and I wouldn't have known the difference anyway. My dad has always been so insistent on me going to the Dr, which in this case I really really am grateful for (not that I'm not every other time). I'm going to Washington next Thursday for one of my best friends weddings and it would be so awful if I felt the way I do now. So it turns out that its a sinus infection aka...worst thing ever. I sound ridiculous, like I just woke up all day long, can't breathe unless my mouth is open, and my nose is stuffed up. My back has been hurting pretty bad for a long long time so I brought that up to the dr too. He said that a rib is out of place and I need to see a chiropractor, but he also told me not to let them tell me to come back a thousand times, it should be a pretty fast adjustment. so i went in today cause with my sinus infection its already hard enough to breathe, but when I take a deep breath it hurts even worse. He wants to take me in a few more times, which is frustrating because I thought it would be a one time visit and apparently its not. I'm pretty sure I'm making this sound worse than it is, but its not fun. Also I probably have to get my tonsils out. According to everything I read online and everyone that I talk to that has had it done, its basically the worst thing ever. My dad is coming to the specialist with me on Tuesday to figure out if its really necessary, but according to my Dr he thinks I should. I am not looking forward to that. Sorry for being debbie downer...the next post I do will be a happy one. I promise :)

Oh Benita! I am so sorry! You sound so sad. I wish I was there because i would totally bring you some chicken noodle soup and maybe a kit kat for you to eat when you feel better. I love you. Get well soon!

The best thing about getting your tonsils out is eating popsicles and ice cream all the time!!! I hope you feel better soon...and that you won't have to get your tonsils out after all.
