It just won't go away!!
I not sleeping well. I'm barking like a seal. The mere raising of my voice or a laugh will send me into a full blown coughing fit. And every time THAT happens, I just about pee my pants.
Damn it having to birth kids.
Friday I finally caved and decided to go see a doctor. Long story short, he said it probably started as a sinus infection and is now bronchitis. The good doctor sent me on my way with a prescription for a Zpack and Tussionex.
Now, because I'm vain, I did wear make up that day. So, when T. came home from school he told me I looked, "SO MUCH BETTER!"
I told him it was because of the make up and that I really wasn't better yet.
He said, "Well at least you don't have those BLACK eyes anymore!"
My kids, always full of compliments.
That night I took my meds like a good girl. I must say the Tussionex did an awesome job in knocking me out.
I woke the next morning feeling better rested than I had in quite a few days. I walked into the bathroom and as I passed the mirror, I stopped dead in my tracks.
"AAAAHHHHHH!" I screamed.
My face was swollen and my left eyelid was swollen almost shut.
I went downstairs and when Mr. Schmitty saw me all he could say was, "What the HELL?!"
Great! Apparently Tussionex can do this.
The rest of the day I was the brunt of many Rocky Balboa jokes. All I heard from Mr. Schmitty was, "Yo! Rocky!" and "ADRIENNNNE!".
The best was the "Cut me Mick, cut me!"
He was almost granted his wish on that one.

Don't you just love how awesome your family is in time of need?
I am glad your cough is better.
Im glad that your cough is getting better, but from the looks of that photo, I think you are having an allergic reaction to the Tussionex!
At least it was just the one eye swollen shut? I don't know, I'm trying to be glass-half-full here. How about this? At least you got some good sleep!
Never knew your eye could swell shut from meds...help me out with that one!
I hope you feel better, and that Hubby doesn't have any unexplained wounds...lol
