but I took a look anyway. At myself. Yeah.
When I was in Vegas (yeah, that blog never happened, but I assure you that you are not missing anything), I had a bad cough. Congestion was congregating right on my voicebox and making me sound like I was sucking twenty too many helium balloons, but thankfully, a medical assistant at the account that I was starting up scored me some sample of Avelox (basic antibiotic thinger) and, in addition to dosing up on Emergen-C, I kicked whatever was ailing me...
...only to come back home to be surrounded by even sicker people. I've been a good girl, drinking water and taking my vitamins, but my job let yet another cough catch up to me. Lots of OT this week and presumably not enough rest, and this afternoon I began to get that weird lung pain, like when you want to cough, but can't. I tried Mucinex earlier in the day, but without any real phlegmage built up, it did zero good. A couple hours later, I felt like I was inhaling inside out pin cushions. Not pleasant. Not pleasant at all!
RAMBLE RAMBLE RAMBLE
Tonight, I took a couple Tylenol #3's to help dull the chest pain. Then, a lightbulb burst above my head when I remembered that I had a whole bottle of promethazine syrup that was prescribed to me after my tonsils were taken out last year.. and from working in primary care clinics doing drug testing and reading loads of med lists, I knew it was often given with codeine to patients for coughs and such. I took a couple spoonfuls an hour or so after swallowing the pills.. and now, I. Feel. Awesome. But, alas, it's time for sleep.
Tune in next time for more unadventures; same sleep time, same sleep channel. To the sleepcave! <3
