Doctor, Doctor

Well, I'm still sick. I was feeling better and then Thursday morning all went downhill. I woke with a sore throat AGAIN, ears were still 'clogged' and I'm coughing horribly (w/blood - sorry for the TMI). I've been to the doctors two times:


  • January 30th - had been sick 2 days and didn't want it to progress any further (and I wanted to get in to the hospital to see mom).I was told it was just a cold and I have ear infections. Was given 2000mg of Amoxicillin to take. Move forward.
  • February 7th - back to the doctor. Still same symptoms, etc. Was told my ears are still infected and I have bronchitis. Great (/end sarcasm). Was given 500 mg of Levaquin to take. Move forward.

  • February 9th- Rob wants me to go back to the doctor. I'm now coughing the blood up, horrible wheezing and just overall muscle soreness from the 9 days of coughing, etc.

    I'm waiting on Rob to get out of the shower so we can go. Between the three of us being sick (Ethan, Rob and myself) we've spent about $200-250 in doctors, prescriptions, over the counter cough medicines, tissues, chapstick, etc. AND, today I get to spend more. And, I have another annual doctor appt this week with a specialist which adds more. It's not that I don't have it - but it gets to a point, you're tired of being sick and spending money on doctors that have no clue what they're doing.


    In other news, mom's coming home today most likely...

    Oh my goodness - you poor thing! Coughing up blood is never a good thing. Hopefully this trip to the doctor's will get you something that is going to make you get better! HUGS!
