Walking Backwards

Thrilling experiences from a rather uneventful life.

Well, it seems I have another sinus infection. I went to the after hours clinic tonight and, after waiting over an hour, found out that I have gotten a second severe sinus infection in the short span of seven months. This is what happens when you take steroids that lower your immune system and then run out of allergy medicine. The doctor told me that I shouldn't have waited so long because my throat looks really bad; I haven't lost my voice though. The nice guy decided to give me some painkillers so that I can sleep through the night sometime this week as well as antibiotics and a new and improved nasal spray. WooHoo, seven medications to keep track of this week. Nicholas was really good at the clinic, though. He was super charming to all of the nurses. When we went back to the patient rooms, Nicholas started to get a little upset. I explained to him that it was mommy's appointment and not his and he calmed down a little bit. The nurse told him that his mommy needed to be taken care of and he looked at me and said "Aw, does mommy need kisses?" and then kissed me on my knee. He then patted me and said "All better." I think he was just trying to get out of the situation, but it was cute just the same. After the doctor came in Nicholas got nervous again, so I put him on my lap and had him talk to the doctor with me. The doctor was so cool, it turns out that he has five kids and was very sympathetic to Nicholas' worries. When the doctor checked my lungs he had Nicholas demonstrating how to take deep breaths. We went home with a bunch of prescriptions and instructions for me to take it easy for the next three days. Yeah, like that is going to happen with a toddler. Well, I better go to pick up those prescriptions since they seem to be needed.
