Sickness, sickness, GO AWAY!!!!

And don't ever ever come back!!!!

I had a cold a few weeks ago. Then a few days after that went away I developed acute bronchitis which is STILL not all the way gone. I now have pleurisy (inflammation of the tissue surrounding the lungs) which makes me feel like someone has a vice-grip on my chest.

NOW I feel like the mucus is building up again, to where it was when I got the bronchitis in the first place! (sorry, gross, I know) GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just had to get that off my chest. If I weren't pregnant I would just load up on all the drugs available. But since I am pregnant, I'm just being choosy about what I put in my body. I took a z-pack for the infection (in case it was bacterial) and I've been taking Mucinex DM to control the cough a little bit. Other than that, I've got nothin'.

It's beginning to get me down. I just want to feel healthy again. Even though I've been assured that the baby is fine, it still freaks me out to be this sick for this long while pregnant. I feel like if I'm suffering then my poor darling child must also be suffering somehow.

OK.... pity party over for now... but I reserve the right to pick up where I left off later on! ;-)
