There actually a reason for me feeling so dang tired. Tuesday night at 11:00 p.m. I woke up with a horrible pain in my ears. I had been feeling yucky and tired for the past week but just chalked it up to being exhausted from everything that was going on.
I decided to drive myself to the E.R. and get checked out. Now I am not a baby when it comes to pain. I usually try to deal with it and keep busy until it goes away. Well, when it comes to my ears, forget it. Those things have been the bain of my existence ever since I got my first annual ear infection. My dad would make me lay on my side and pour hydrogen peroxide into my ear. It was awful. The bubbling and fizzing was too much to handle.
So they get me right in and the doctor looks at me and tells me that I have a double ear infection and an upper respiratory infection. He actually asked me if I smoked. Disdainfully I replied, "Never!". He said my lungs sounded bad and that if I didn't take it easy I could get pneumonia. Awesome.
Did I mention that I have the pioneer handcart trek in a week and a half? The doctor also informed me that I shouldn't go on the trek because the dust, smoke from the fires, and the exertion could do me in. It just keeps getting better.
So I'm going to wait until five days before the trek and then make my decision about whether or not to go. My hubby wants to go really bad and won't go by himself. Really awesome.
We will see if I can get better in that amount of time. Here's hoping.
