So that virus or whatever that's been passed around has hit me again, it seems. I'd had a weekend bout with chest congestion, fever and sore throat before the ER visit, but it had passed quickly after I drank some Alka-seltzer Plus and some of my daughter's echinacea tea. Then everyone else got sick. I think what I have now might be a sinus infection. I took a Claritin last night because I thought it might be allergies, but it had no effect. My symptoms are pretty mild right now, other than the sore throat, and are responding well to my standard remedy: various teas with honey, alka-seltzer plus, and gingerale cough drops. Since I am allergic to benadryl, Theraflu is out of the question. I'd always feel worse after taking it, and it wasn't until I started paying attention to labels that I realized that, sonuvabitch, diphenhydramine HCl is one of its main ingredients.
After dropping our daughter off at school, we stopped to get some waffle sandwiches from Dunkin Donuts, and then took our shower together in case I felt dizzy. I lay down for about an hour before he left for work, and when I awoke, I felt much better. My sinuses are dryer and I feel toasty warm, so the echinacea tea is definitely helping. Better to get this over with now. Although I am content to live in Buffalo, because of its convenience and almost nonexistent traffic, I am homesick for Boston. Bree is, too. I'm not rushing into any major decisions right now, mind you, but I will seriously consider moving back if it means her happiness and health.
