For the past 7 (going on 8) days, I have been sick. It all started last saturday with a sore throat, and as the week went on, thinks just kept getting worse. by Wednesday I had little to no voice, stuffed up sinuses (and I am pretty sure a little bit of a sinus infection) along with the beginning of a cough. Yesterday I woke up with the most horrible tooth pain on the left side of my face. It was so bad that I had to have Eric get me some Tylenol from to store.
Now, when I tell you that I had to have Eric get me Tylenol, let me tell you, that is really bad. I have done so well with the every day pregnancy aches and pains that I can count on one hand the number of times I have taken any meds to relieve the pain. But yesterday was horrid. I could barely get up to take the dog for a walk, let alone sit up and do anything. I literally laid on the couch all day, save the few times I took the dog out. Cooper is a pretty good dog, but when he wants to go outside, he is relentless, so, I couldn't just lay around all day and not take him out. He's too cute for that!
I have come to the conclusion that woman who get sick while they are pregnant are super stars for having to deal with the pain and discomfort without taking any meds. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not realyl a medicine taker even when I am not pregnant, but let me tell you, having the ability to go to the doctor to get a prescription if I want to is wonderful. Just knowing that I could get meds to help take the edge off a cold or sinus infection is a luxury that I will not be taking for granted.
