Yep, that's me. So for a few weeks now I've had a persistent cough that has been driving me nuts. My mom is a nurse at an ENT's office so I went to see him and he gave me some meds, blah blah. Well, thanks to the coughing I have now developed Pleurisy.
I've had it once before and it sucked then, and it sucks now. I left work 8 hours early tonight because I just couldn't get comfortable no matter what I did. I came home and.....cleaned. Yeah, I cleaned my bedroom and bathroom from top to bottom because I know that my pleurisy is getting worse and I wanted to be able to rest in a super clean room this weekend. OCD is a bi*ch :) I think I may have overdone it and probably shouldn't have been cleaning at all.
I am now on an antibiotic and a really strong cough medicine. My left side feels like I have about 3 broken ribs and coughing is excruciating. It hurts to breath. The worst is trying to get out bed. I kind of have to roll and pull myself up by wrapping my arms around my knees. You're laughing right? Ya know how when you aren't supposed to do something, you feel like you just have to? Well, that's how it is with the coughing. I keep feeling like I need to cough, but it hurts too much.
But, I don't feel sick at all, I just have some seriously painful ribs.
If you need me this weekend....I'll be right here. In bed, with a stack of movies, a ton of Gator-aid, a heating pad and of course my Blackberry (you knew that though, right?).
Ouch.....
