Modern Mom Challenge - Week #5

This past week was the complete opposite of "healthy". I woke up on Monday morning with a sore throat, congestion, coughing and with a slight fever. By that night my left ear, sinus and throat were officially infected. I made an appointment to see my doctor first thing Tuesday morning. As I suspected I had an ear infection. What I didn't suspect is that I had a DOUBLE ear infection.

I was miserable.

It sounded like I was under water with the pressure giving me a headache and causing dizzy spells. I have a hard time napping during the day no matter how sick I am and I wasn't sleeping well at night either. Because I couldn't smell or taste anything my diet primarily consisted of Ricola Green Tea with Echinacea Drops and Yogi Tea Echinacea Immune Support with honey.

My doctor gave me a prescription, decongestant and nasal spray. By day 4 I still wasn't feeling much better, but I had to go back in the office. It was nice to get out of the house after 4 days of lying on the sofa.

Today is the first day my voice is almost back to normal and I have been able to hear clearly out of both my ears because the infection is draining. I have gone through two boxes of tissues just today alone. I look like I could lead Santa's sleigh thanks to blowing my nose every 15 minutes.

So this past week ... no yoga, no healthy food, no sleep, no weight lost. *sigh* There is always next week.
