We went to the mall today and bought Jamie some clothes for an early Father’s Day gift. Taylor loved the big mirror in the dressing room of Oakleys.

Thursday night I just could not sleep. I was so miserable that I kept tossing and turning all night long. I could not breathe, I felt like something was sitting/pushing down on my chest, I couldn’t stop coughing, and my nose was stopped up. It was awful. I set an appointment with my doctor for Friday at 11am. I also decided to go ahead and take Taylor to the doctor as well; she had a little running nose and a small cough, but it was more… if I’m going, why not take her too. But she is a very “busy” girl and can be a handful, so if I was going I needed someone to go with me to help me with her when I am being seen. Jamie talked to his boss/manager/whatever he is called and they let him take off a few hours in the middle of the day to go with us.

Jamie’s new job at Capital One Auto right off the tollway, but since I was in Sherry’s car I could not go on it. She does not have a tolltag on her car (like we do on ours) and I don’t carry cash on me. I had to go a roundabout way to pick up Jamie before we head over to the doctor’s office, that I picked out close to his work. It ended up taking me twice the time to get to his work than it would if I had gone on the tollway. I was late so I called the doctor to let them know and they just switched my appointment time to 11:30 instead. We didn’t arrive until 11:45 and the doctor had just left for lunch. We went ahead and filled out new paperwork so it would be ready, but we had to wait until 1pm for the next available appointment.

It took awhile waiting and we didn’t get done until about 3pm. He said I had an asthma attack, but that my lungs, ears, throat, and nose look fine. So he gave me an inhaler, had me do a stronger dose at the office with a breathing treatment. He would then like a follow up appointment for Tuesday. Taylor was fine and he didn’t see the need to give her any medicine at all.

Today I went back to my doctor for the follow-up and really didn’t feel any better. The initial breathing treatment helped a bunch, but that is all that has gotten better. My voice is cracking and starting to fade. He said I have laryngitis and gave me a steroid shot to try to help it. I don’t feel so bad right now, except for my throat area. It just feels like you might think it would, like its kind of swollen and a little hard to breathe out of… and my voice sounds horrible.

Well, I think dinner is ready so I think I will end it with that. But I sure hope my voice comes back and my throat feels better soon.
