The Black Lung

As many of you know, I got super sick two weeks ago

Bryan left on Sunday and BAM it hit me

I wasn't sure if it was because we were outside all day on Saturday...

so I ignored it of course

When is that ever a good idea? Yeah no

So I wake up Monday morning and had a sore throat

a very bad sore throat

 I called in sick for work

As Monday goes on, I feel congested. What?!?!

Tuesday morning I wake up and cannot breathe. I call in sick again

Two days in a row= must get a doctor's note. So I do

I go to the doctor on Tuesday and what do ya know? It's just a cold

There's no cure for the common cold. I wasted a co-pay

mad

Tuesday night comes around. I'm coughing so much

Jake looks at my throat. Bright red and blisters

great

my doctor did say my cold could take a crazy turn & turn into strep

We had to watch it carefully. Very carefully

Wednesday comes around. Oh Wednesday

I could not breathe for the life of me. I tried to go to work

Yeah... That lasted for one hour.

I tried sticking everything I possibly could, up my nose

I tried Vicks steam inhaler. Fail

I tried Vicks VapoRub on my chest. Fail

I tried Vicks VapoRub right underneath my nose. Fail

I tried a vapor inhaler. Fail

I tried Zicam (which normally works). Fail

I took Dayquil, Nyquil, etc. Fail

I tried Breathe Right strips (which also normally work). Fail

I tried allergy pills. I tried everything

The one thing that did work. A priesthood blessing

Jake came home from work on Wednesday & he brought his co-worker Steve

who is also a good friend of ours

I was so excited for Jake to come home from work that night. I needed this!

This Afrin worked, and my blessing from Jake and Steve

Thursday, I just finished resting & washed everything!

Friday I was back at work. I only took off another week

Yeah. After I just got back from California
