"It's Getting Better All The Time"

So, Zithromax still sucks. Still giving me unbelievable stomach spasms. BUT, I am getting better. Yesterday I couldn't even swallow without feeling like I was taking in a 6 inch blade of a knife down my throat, and today, hardly anything. So that's good. Head's getting a bit stuffy though, but I can deal with that.

Went and got the family Christmas tree yesterday. I don't even know why my parents bother anymore. My father has turned into scrooge, and my mom just wants to be able to enjoy Christmas. Bloody annoying if you ask me. Oh and I have to do most of the work around here regarding the Christmas decorations. Kind of pointless for me this year, really. I'm not even going to be here for Christmas! I'm going back to Virginia to spend it with Grov. Funny, I only realized that this would have been my last Christmas in this house (a house I have lived in for most of my life...20 years to be exact) because my parents are moving next year. Actually a little sad about that, because I'm such a sentimental sissy sometimes.

Other than that, not much else going on in my world.

Why Zithromax Sucks

Ok...so I woke up this morning with a throat that felt like it was on fire. Ok, ok so it wasn't actuallyon fire, but my tonsils were swollen and had a nice coat of pus on them (sorry for the gross image there folks!). I finally broke down and went to the clinic. Got there early and didn't have to wait long at all. Dr. saw me, asked me a bunch of questions, took a swab of my throat, wrote me a prescription for Zithromax and sent me on my merry way. I guess if they find anything seriously wrong with the swab they will tell me.

I take my 'script and head over to the pharmacy ( I don't have insurance anymore so things cost me). Well, I didn't realize that 6 little pills were going to cost me almost $50! That's reason 1 why Zithromax sucks.

Reason 2: I take the prescribed 2 pills for the first day and head back to bed. Hey, if I'm sick...I sleep. Yay sleep. Anyway, I wake up at about 11:45am with a really weird, cramping feeling in my stomach. It wasn't like a stomach ache, these felt like they were twisting my insides! So, needless to say, I wasn't feeling good, and ended up being sick. Feeling a little better now, but I'm still getting twinges. Stupid expensive pills! I know it's one of the side effects, but c'mon...drugs should make you feel good...not bad! If I knew this was going to happen, I would have spent my $50 on some drugs that would take the pain away...and my mind away too ;)
Just kidding!

Damming the Flood

Well, I am home from my week long adventure in Virginia with Grov. It's always a good time when I get to spend time with him. He makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
I felt kinda bad though. I started to feel sick, (like really sick...he doesn't know how sick I really did feel on Friday...oops...I guess he does now!), and I had migraines a few of the days (again..he doesn't know how bad they were and I probably should have gone to the hospital both times...but I didn't say anything). I didn't want to ruin the time I had with him, and having him sit in an emergency room with me for god knows how long having to deal with my insurance really wouldn't have been my idea of a good time.

I also feel bad because I put so much on him. Even just listening to my problems I feel like I'm burdening him. I know what he's going to tell me "it's what I'm there for" but I still feel really bad. I don't know, I have always been one to just keep my emotions to myself, mainly because I have never had anyone close enough to talk to. And now that I'm with him, it's like it's all come flooding out. I can't help it...it just won't stop. And for some reason, I am getting very emotional about it all. I'm scared that I'm going to flood him so much that he's just not going to listen anymore, because it always seems to be the same problem. So, I've decided that unless it's really important, I'm just going to deal with it and not dump on Grov anymore. He doesn't need it, and I don't want to be the one to ruin a great thing in my life.

On Dec. 21 I fly back down to Virginia again for 2 weeks to spend Christmas and New Year's with Grov. And then on Jan 4, hopefully, he and I will be flying back together.
I guess I'll post about all of that after I get back.
