Being sick Sucks

I was doing so well. Finally thought I was on the up, getting everything under control for Christmas etc and then I get hit with a virus. Me being me though gets it straight on the chest and its knocked me out for 4 whole days. I thought I might have been growing out of my Asthma it hasnt been that bad of late but I think it mustve been waiting for the big one! Tuesday night after struggling through a dance class I went to hospital and was stuck on the nebuliser TWICE. They gave me steroids which I detest with a passion for so many reasons and sent me home. They did want to admit me but I was having none of it. Off work Wednesday and Thursday which I was annoyed at as I have so much to do and with taking time of recently due to the car accident feel that I owe them. Ended up rushed back to the GP on Thursday night (he waited for me after closing which was sweet of him) only to be put back on the nebuliser as I was hyperventilating due to sheer panic. He prescribed me further steroids plus antibiotics, which I have to say are the size of pills you would give a horse!! I feel like giving myself a round of applause everytime I manage to swallow one!! LOL

I am hoping to feel better by Monday so I can go back to work, I'm feeling on the upward slope now but dont want to count my chickens - I have too much riding on them. I've missed a christmas party at work, I dont want to miss anything else. I'm bummed with daytime TV and even the true movies which I have recently aquired are becoming mind numbing. I'm just happy I can make it out of bed today to get on the computer for a little while.

On the positive side, Christmas is nearly here. Welcome to December! Its so exciting, I love this time of year. The shops are so festive and its a pleasure to go out (even if it is freezing cold and wet). I will have to start my advent calendar! I've got 2 days to open, hows that for brightening up a day!! And whilst I have sent my Christmas cards abroad I really should get round to writing those for my friends over here. I have received lots of lovely, handmade and shop bought cards already this year and they all have such lovely words in them. I'm so blessed to have so many great friends.
