Vent Session: Best Week Ever

This past Tuesday I woke up with a sore throat and pretty severe nasal congestion. While the sore throat was gone by Wednesday, the congestion has set in pretty firmly and a nasty cough had developed. Now, ordinarily I would generally let these kinds of things run its course. I had no fever and but everyone advised that I should go to the doctor. By Thursday I had enough of the sinus infection and was feeling pretty bad so off to the nearest Doc-in-the-Box I go. One shot, some antibiotics and a cough suppressant later I actually started feeling better. And then the tides turned once again.

About two hours after taking the initial dose of the Z-Pack antibiotics my stomach felt like it was going to explode. While my sinuses and cough were a little better these were the worst stomach cramps I can remember. To add insult to injury, by the the mucus factory in my head had increased production. With amount of mucus I have blown out over the last few days I am left to ponder where does it come from. Is there really that much storage in my head and where do the material comes from to produce this viscus material. By Saturday I felt worse than when this whole thing started and on this fine Sunday morning I woke up to not only the continuation of the mucus extravaganza but also to a migraine headache. Man this has been the best week ever.
