I have basicly been home most of the weekend with a cough, aches, chills, and today added runny nose, sneezing and the whole respiratory works. I already had a doctor's appointment to follow up on the heat exhaustion so I am now diagnosed with upper respiratory infection. This infection is from the sand storm last Monday. I still got it after the other antibiotic I was on. I've got 3 meds I'm taking. Another antibiotic, cough syrup, and decongestant. The doctor gave me another 3 days off of work. I want to know what my new job is but I ache all over, cough often enough that I won't sleep, so no, I'm not going in.
Plus, the cough is like acid reflux. If I sleep flat on my back, I cough more because it's easier for it to come up. I discovered that if I put the pillows in a wedge shape propping myself up, i sleep easier. I still wake up thirsty or needing something after 4 hours but I'm not in the middle of a coughing fit when I do wake up.
I think tomorrow I'm going the pharmacy to get some oxygen. Yes, an oxygen tank. I need to breathe some clean air. Oxygen is a proven and otherwise well touted method to retain your youth. Michael Jackson is said to have slept in an oxygen tank. And see how well that worked!
I love being able to go to the pharmacy and get whatever you want. But Kuwait is like that. If you got the money, you name it, you can have it.
I wish I could buy some sleep right now!
