Being Sick

Man... Have I been sick lately.  In December I had a sinus infection.  It was awful.  I was able to get some antibiotic and start to feel a bit better.  But that was short lived.  I soon developed a sore throat.  It was not like any other sore throat I had ever had before.  It bothered me the most when I would lay down to sleep at night. It would hurt so badly I couldn't fall asleep until I took pain killer to dull it a bit.  Then my back went out.  It was so weird.  I didn't do anything.  I just couldn't walk upright one day.

Finally the pain got to me and I decided to see the doctor.  It was a bit of a nightmare and through a series of events I would prefer not to relive right now, because it makes me want to curse.  So I'll just leave it at... after driving all over the place I ended-up at the ER, which was probably better in the long run anyhow.

After lots of waiting and lots of testing they decided I had an infection in my lymph node, so more antibiotics.  I also got some painkiller and muscle relaxants from them for my back.
Hopefully.... this is the last of it!
