Getting back in to the normal routine of life after travel, along with the jet lag, took some time and I could feel myself getting sicker and sicker. It started with a sore throat and cough and heaviness in my chest and then moved to my head and sinuses. After one week, I just wasn't getting better. Finally on Wednesday, the 19th, I went to the doctor. My normal doctor wasn't available so I had to see a new doctor in the practice (I told Chris the new doctor was very granola). He didn't think I needed antibiotics but was willing to give them to me anyway. I accepted the prescription and within two hours of taking my first dose, I was so much better.
I'm still waiting for my ears and sinuses to clear, but I am grateful to finally feel better.
