I got some fitful sleep last night, and after my God time and shower this morning, caught a pretty good nap later.
One secret: I made my bed with the heated mattress pad. I can't abide very hot forced indoor air right now, but I don't want to freeze either. The heated pad offers a good option. The cats like it, too.
The rest was just me, lying patiently in bed, thinking calming thoughts.
I woke up with a mild frontal headache, which progressed. I was also "blowing" out greenish-yellow crud, as I have he last couple days. Great. A sinus infection.
I had Ron call doc and set up an appointment, then I took my nap. I got a couple hours, 2-3 I think. Not bad.
Who knew sleep could be so hard to attain?
So, I went to the doctor. We (I took a cab) got stuck in traffic for nearly an hour. Ugh. The driver remarked I seemed very subdued, my aunt had remarked I sounded terrible last night.
I saw doc pretty quick, for him. He said I have a classic presentation. Bacterial sinusitis. He gave me steroids and a prescription antibiotic. Like my other doc, he works with me to figure out what will work. He also factors in the cost of the medication.
Oh, I'm tired. Anyway, Doc seemed pretty convinced this would fix me up. I sure hope so.
I'm just ready to go to bed and sleep!
