Sick of Being Sick!

I am really tired of being sick all the time! I went to the doctor today for my 2 week followup, and I am still coughing up a storm! She said she thought that I might have whooping cough. They tried to do a blood test, but they couldn't get blood out of my arm.........and then I passed out from feeling crappy! So, they gave up. I have to drink a ton of water and go back tomorrow sometime.

Anyway, she said I was fine to go to work and that I wasn't really contagious--all the kids have the DTAP vaccine. And, Richard hasn't gotten it. I already did the round of antibiotics/medicine that is supposed to shorten it, though she didn't know I had it at the time - she prescribed it for something else. So, I went to work, sat in my office, tried not to faint anymore, and somehow made it through the day. Needless to say, I left after the bell, came home, went straight to sleep, and slept until dinner. I am just sick of being sick!!!! Maybe she'll write me a prescription for a long vacation somewhere sunny so I can breathe good fresh air and get well----wouldn't that be nice!?!??
