Friday I had an appointment to see what's going on with my throat. Of course, no one told me I'd be seeing the nurse practioner and not my regular doctor, otherwise I probably would've waited till he was in the office. The NP says it's just a sinus infection and gave me antibiotics. My throat has gotten worse and I've never felt as if I had a sinus infection. You know, usually there's a runny nose, pressure, pain and I've had none of that. I also got my flu shot while I was there. My nurse is used to my fainting by now so she knew it wasn't going in my arm. I always get it in my thigh so I can be laying down and they seem to hurt less the next day. I felt fine and was talking to her till she left the room and then I started to feel sick. My husband knew what was going on and just sat and waited for instructions or to call the nurse if I actually did pass out. I ended up on the floor. Jasmine was sitting next to me and wiped my hair off my forehead and made sure my husband didn't "bother" me. When I asked Shawn for a wet paper towel, Jasmine went and grabbed it from him and told him to stay. She's a really sweet kid when she's not having a tantrum. Eventually I was able to pull myself off the floor but it was about a half hour after the nurse left the room. The rest of the day I felt tired and a little out of it. That always seems to happen when I get that close to fainting.
Saturday, my mother-in-law came over for dinner. I had an upset stomach so I slept most of the time she was here. And I didn't get dinner because of it. My husband took her home and when he got back, we went for ice cream. That also meant I missed the late night adoption event that we had on Saturday. Luckily, I wasn't expected there, I just told them I might stop in.
Today, I slept. No, really. I didn't get up till 9pm. I felt like crap because of it too. I feel like I missed the whole weekend sleeping. Maybe it's the time of year. It's crappy out so I've been sleeping a lot more. I hate sleeping all the time. I was planning on getting up today and going to home depot just to get some ideas. Of course, by the time I crawled out of bed, everything was closed. I'm determined to get up today before 4, even if I have as hard of a time falling asleep as I did the night before.

Holy cow, you must have been tired to sleep that long ~ probably the best thing for you. Too bad you passed out, sounds like little Jasmine took over quite well though, what a sweetie. Hope the sinus problem clears up, people around here have had the same thing for over a month.

I sleep a lot more now that it is cold. I was feeling better when we had a spell of warmer sunny days, but it is cold again now. I hope we can all shake the wintertime blahs sooner than later. I hate it. I hope those antibiotics do the trick for your throat. Good thing you were alright after falling on the floor, you be careful with that passing out.
