Started my week off in the Tax office. Cost more for preparing and I had to pay the state another hundred dollars. Not such a good start...but wait it got worse.
Not feeling well on Tuesday, called the doctor. Got an appointment for Wednesday morning. I did not know if it was flu or pneumonia...too scary to take a chance. It was an upper respiratory infection. Dr. calls in a script. I go straight to CVS.
Everyone behind the counter is coughing ..yikes, where are your masks??? The lady that calls my name to wait on me is clutching her chest and gasping for breathe. I think she may be having a heart attack. I say ," Ma'am are you okay?" She says she is fine. I get my script and tell her she may need a break. Honestly I have never seen anything like it
Thursday, I wake up and my teeth are hurting where I always tell Dr. Mike they hurt. I just had them cleaned on the 6th. Three x-rays and Mike finds nothing. Tells me it is probably the sinus infection I have. Could be, but honestly, I feel there's something going on with my teeth and I think I'll get one of those 3-D x-rays soon. Or say to heck with it and wait till I am a screaming loonie in the E.R. one night. It was a rough week. Half scared to go anywhere. Got to get over this infection. Sure would like to know what happened to the pharmacist at CVS.
Here was a sweet shiny spot for all of us this week. Savannah won some awards at the honors banquet in her school . That made me happy. She is wonderful young lady. You go girl.
Hope all of you have a great weekend. Stay healthy. XO
Awe, I feel for you and sending prayers you feel better soon. It is raging around here and I'm scared to get out anywhere since my immune system is basically gone. I've never seen a winter this bad and pray this sickness goes away soon. Love and Healing hugs. xo
ReplyDeleteSusie, I wash my hands and wipe things down with disinfectant till I am wore out. LOL I know as we age our immune systems are not as strong, so I really did not want to chance having something serious...but when we are old it's all serious. I always think of you Susie and pray you can get better each day. Blessings with love, stay strong, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh no!--sorry to hear you're sick! I hope your medicine kicks in real fast and you are feeling back to normal very quickly! I keep seeing the flu on tv and how bad it is this year. Any respiratory infection, bronchitis, sinus, pnemonia, any of that stuff is bad. Hope you feel better soon
ReplyDeleteDebbi, I swear there's times when I think "what more?" know what I mean. LOL. I told my daughter...the tax chair, the doctor's chair, the dentist chair, where is my vacation beach chair? haha. Ready for some carefree spring days. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSorry to hear you are sick. It's a nasty flu, isn't it? I hope you are feeling better soon, Susie! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteJenn, I hate being sick but who would like it? LOL It isn't the flu and hopefully it doesn't get that bad. It's a sinus infection. I thank you honey for your good wishes. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYou had a tough week, but you are the winner of my Blogaversary giveaway for a momento from Australia. Please send me your name and address to cornwallst59@hotmail.com and I will get your gift out next week.
ReplyDeleteCarol, Reading this bit of news has made me smile. I am glad you had such an awesome adventure down under. I had always thought I would go there one day. BUT I am hoping now to be able to go anywhere. LOL Thank for the gift. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSorry you’ve been sick. That is crazy that the people at the pharmacy are sickly- talk about spreading the germs quickly to the public! I was thinking that you probably clench your teeth at night and are causing the ache that you are feeling. The fact that you are waking up with that feeling is a good sign. I had a bad spell of that at one point and had a mouth guard made to help- and it did. I have had my upper teeth feel irritated when I’ve had a bad sinus infection but if you were having the problem before the sinus infection I’d consider the idea that it’s from clenching.
ReplyDeleteLiz, I was so astounded by the pharmacy workers.I almost want to report them. I guess I will get my own gloves and masks to wear when going there. Oh I do think there's times I clench my jaws shut tight. This sinus infection is new to me, never had it before. The dr. said I should be good come Monday. Blessings to you, hope all is well. xoxo, Susie
DeleteMy sister-in-law said her teeth hurt like crazy and it was due to a sinus infection! Hope you find relief soon.
ReplyDeleteI hear that lots of people are sick but we have had a healthy winter here so far. We aim to keep it that way!
Take care!
Doris, I am glad all's well there. :) I sure was trying to stay that way myself. When I think of the pharmacy, well no wonder people are getting sick, they freely spread it around. It too scary. 200 people have died from the flu in our state. Stay healthy, blessings , xoxo, Susie
DeleteI hope you feel lots better this weekend. I had something going on with my teeth a few years ago. They hurt...and I couldn't even tell which one hurt most. My dentist did all the tests and then sat down to ask me about stress. (at the time it was off the charts) He said I was grinding my teeth in my sleep. I could have worn a guard but instead I learned to stop. I was aware of it and able to stop. Hope you figure out something my friend. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteDiane, You know darn well I love going to the dentist..NOT !!hehe. I thought to myself Thursday morning, What more? Stress is a killer of so much in our lives. It adds to our illnesses. I am hoping my teeth ease up soon. So ready to feel good. Blessings to you dear friend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI hope you feel better soon Susie! I have sinus and allergy issues all throughout the year so I know thats no fun!
ReplyDeletePilar, I hate to think of the pain and misery you have endured with sinus problems. This is my first infection, I hate it. It was not my favorite week. LOL. I told my daughter I need a vacation. You know all the experts are forecasting a flu season on into late March. Scary. I need to get well. :) Stay healthy young lady. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI was wondering if you were sick,, I came to check on you lol,,, I hope you feel better soon, you've had a bad week,, Savanna is such a lovely girl,, did she cut her hair or is it just put up?
ReplyDeleteLaurie, Thank you for caring. Yes, Savannah's hair is cut short. I think she likes the ease of caring for it. She's not a real prissy girl. I am just glad she is letting it be natural blonde. Blessings to you and yours, stay healthy, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI wish people who are sick would stay home. I had one bout of the flu and I don't want anymore. I wore a mask when I went to see the doctor and when I went to the drug store. I then stayed home. Hope you start to feel better. A sinus infection can definitely make your teeth hurt. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteLaura, I always wear a scarf and hold it over my face when out these days. But I am seriously thinking of buying some masks. No one seems to really care if they are coughing right in your face or not, ...geezoo. Stay healthy, xoxo, Susie
DeleteCVS can be a giant pain when it comes to prescriptions. I should never have given my phone number or my email address. It was so easy at Osco. I'd walk in, show the pharmacist the bottle, leave it on the counter. He would nod in acknowledgment, and I'd tell him I'd be back tomorrow. Simple as that. CVS would call two days before to "remind me" then they would call the day I was to pick up the medicine. Perish the thought if you could not make it on that day! It was the same with the emails except there they would also try and sell you other things as well.
ReplyDeleteOK. After all my whining I hope you feel better Suzie.
Boston Boy, Oh I know, things are more complicated since we have simplified things on computers. LOL. Thanks for cheering me up , you know misery loves company. LOL Ever feel like we all are chasing our own tails.?? Hope you stay well , I really tried to keep healthy. Blessings to you, Hello to Arlene, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh Susie I hope you are feeling better. When you have a bad sinus infection it can effect your teeth too! Wishing you better days of feeling better and getting rest. We certainly need an early Spring followed by a great summer to kill all these bugs and see some warmth and sunshine. Congrats to Savannah what a great honor.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Kris, I am some what better one minute and all headachy the next. Ready for sitting out in the sunshine on the porch. Savannah does very well in school. Wish her brother did the same. Praying he graduates this spring. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGosh Susie, not a good week at all! I hope you are feeling better. I have to tell you that once I had a terrible toothache on a Sunday. I was in so much pain that I finally called my dentist. He had me meet him at the office. I felt so stupid when he said that my teeth were fine and it was my sinuses. He had me go home and stand over a pot of boiling water with a towel over my head for 15 min. then he had me follow with an ice pack for another 15 min. After doing this once the pain was gone. Those crazy sinuses!! Congrats to Savannah!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Jann, I am actually praying it's my sinuses making my teeth hurt. I hate dental work. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteIt is a very scary time with this flu---best to get it checked out. My grandson was admitted to the hospital, but it was asthma. Papa, too, but a different flu.
ReplyDeleteI worry with my terrible immune system. I've always been good about germ infection. Yet hubby comes home coughing, and I have to remind him to cover his mouth.
Take care. I have a post up about this flu.
Jane
Blondie, If it were not for the flu, pneumonia scares...I would have stayed home and doctored myself with home remedies. Too risky these days. My teeth are becoming a pain in my butt nd my wallet. LOL Blessings, stay well honey, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh my gosh Susie, what a week you had. I pray the meds are working and you're feeling better soon. And yes, sinus infection will make your teeth hurt miserably. but every time it happens I still blame it on to my teeth...lol
ReplyDeleteAnd I wear a mask (and my gloves) every time I go into the doctors office.. it always scares me to death.. there is so much going around:(
Congrats to Savannah! She is growing up way too fast isn't she??
Blessings and well wishes..
Gert
Gert, I am praying it's my sinuses making my teeth hurt. I do not want to start that dental repairs again. Hope you are doing better there. I know you had your hands full . Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie...I hope you're doing better today. I hate sinus infections as they do make your teeth really hurt. But every time I blame it onto the teeth not the sinuses..lol
ReplyDeleteDoctors offices scare me...I always wear a mask (and gloves when it's cold..) I get in and out as quickly as I can.
Congrats to Savannah..she is growing so fast!
Blessings,
Gert
Awwwww, Susie. I'm so so sorry to read about your bad day and your being so sick. I hope by now you are beginning to recover. Gee. Everybody has had that flu and it's just rough. You take care of yourself. The people at the pharmacy maybe shouldn't have been there at all. I'm glad your Savannah did so well.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, Please do not take any chances with the flu...that is exactly why I went to the dr. Too scary . I am somewhat better, but my teeth feel worse. I am praying for relief. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI'm so sorry you had such a bad week, Susie. Tax time is never fun. I hope you feel better, and glad you are taking something for the respiratory inf. I'm wondering, like you, what happened to the pharmacist? Great news for Savannah. That must have been a bright spot in your week.
ReplyDeleteRest on this Sunday afternoon. The cold in your area doesn't help with what you have. Get well, Susie.
love, ~Sheri
Sheri, There's been 195 deaths here in Indiana from the flu...I don't dare risk not getting dr. care. Yes, that CVS pharmacy...I am going to tell them they need masks. Why spray all over everyone's meds? Really !! OH Savannah made me have a happy break in my big pile of woes. LOL. Blessings, stay healthy. xoxo,love, Susie
DeleteOh no, Susie! I hope you are feeling better! I think teeth do hurt when sinuses are inflamed.
ReplyDeleteOh honey, I am praying it's my sinuses...but fear too many things are happening at once. It's misery over load. LOL. Stay healthy there. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh no. Hope you feel better soon. The last time My Shug went to the Dr. the pa coughed while talking to him and did not cover her mouth! I just had a tooth capped and it is sensitive. Had it capped two weeks ago. See if your teeth quit hurting when you feel better. So many nerves in our face. I think they become inflamed. I have the same problems. I think my dentist has one of those 3D X-ray machines. I might be able to get you in. Hope you are on the mend.
ReplyDeleteCindy
Cindy, I do believe we are going to have to retrain grown people about covering while coughing and sneezing. Cindy girl, I am pryaying it's my sinuses making my teeth hurt....But I have complained about these teeth for over a year. Something's amiss. Is your dentist in Kokomo? I have seen a dentist there that has a machine in Carmel for 3-D xrays.Two hundred dollars for each xray. Money up front too. Crazy isn't it. Hope your sensitivity goes away. Bless your heart, love, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie,
DeleteYou can’t RE-train people who were never taught to begin with! I understand exactly what you are going through with your teeth. I went to my dentist several years ago for pain. I can’t even go into all of it here. I have since gotten a new dentist. And yes he is in Kokomo. And I’m wondering if you went to an endodontist in Carmel that has an office in Kokomo for your 3D x Ray. (Prather, Tate, and can’t remember the third one).
Cindy
Yes, Cindy, It is that group dentist. Dr. Alin is the third one, the one I've seen. I go one of these mornings to see what he thinks. Hope he helps me..I swear if he finds something, I have whined about...I may have to stop seeing my own dentist. You know some do the surgery and then pass you back to your regular dentist for the work on the tooth. Just another shake down, it's starting to feel like. I am hoping I can hang on for awhile. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Deletewhat a week!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, I hope this was my worst week. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeletePraying.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Regina. I think prayer for others is a wonderful gift, you are so kind. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThis flu has us all scared to death...I have been staying so close to home but just going to get bread and milk is risky. Hoping you feel better soon and that this new week will be better for you. xoxo
ReplyDeleteBJ, I have tried everything to stay healthy...so this sinus thing was a shock. That little pill dr. ordered is working. Stay strong and healthy. Blessings, love, xoxo, Susie
DeleteIt is scary to go out anywhere right now with everything that is going around. That is crazy that the gal that was so sick at CVS was working and sick like that! UGH
ReplyDeleteHope you get to feeling better soon and that your teeth are okay--that it is just a phantom pain from sinuses or something.
Bless you, Susie- xo Diana
Diana, I am just blown away at how people are not covering when coughing or sneezing...so nasty. If their hands are full they can cough under their arm. Too scary to go out. Diana, I am praying this is a pain from my sinuses...but I am always scared it's something they are missing. :( Blessings to all of you. xoxo,love, Susie
Deletegood for Savanah..makes up for everything else..Stay healthy...
ReplyDeleteMissy, Savannah's hard work being awarded made my week. :) Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh, Susie, I am so sorry! Yes, sinus problems can make your teeth hurt!
ReplyDeleteYour Savannah is such a beautiful young lady! She is a classic beauty......
Hope you are feeling better soon! Louis Dean says we need to go back to the country. We don’t get sick down there!
