I did not go to work today. I really feel horrible. I hate getting sick and I hate having a sinus infection. Which is what I have. I KNEW that's what it was on Friday. My doctor diagnosed me with sinus and ear infections. He gave me an anti-biotic and two different cough medicines. One has codeine so it'll help me sleep. The other is these little round pills he's given me before that help the itch in the throat go away during the day. He also sent me home with a sinus rinse bottle and solution. He also gave me a note to excuse me from work for today and tomorrow. I know he really wanted me to stay home the rest of the week, but I just don't feel like I can do that.

Michael has been really good about all this. He went and bought me a warm air humidifier the other night to try and help me sleep. Tonight he went and got my prescriptions for me. He really does do what he can to take care of me when I'm not feeling well. He's a good husband. I guess I'll keep him a while longer.

If I could just get some decent rest it would help a lot. The sinus rinse thingy felt really funny, but it worked. It seems to clean out the gunk pretty good. It also relieved a lot of the pressure behind my sinuses. I think I'm going to try to use it at least semi-regularly. If it can help me prevent future sinus infections, I'm all for it. I get them way too often.
