On The Rebound

Hey Everybody, I'm writing this on Wednesday November 6 and for the first time in a little over 3 weeks, I am starting the day not feeling weak, sick, or tired. A "one-two" punch of the effects from a flu shot and a sinus infection has had me down and out since October 21st. I haven't been totally out of the game.

During this time I made a trip to Nashville to see a show, provided daycare for my grandson, picked my granddaughter up from school, had both of them visit us at our house 3 times, gave my son and daughter-in-law a ride to pick up their car from the Kia dealership, and even did some grocery shopping.

But there were quite a few days where I slept most of the time and, other than going out to get the mail, did not even leave the house. As my wife will tell you, that's not me.

Yesterday, in the midst of my "not any getting better" sinus issues and not wanting to develop Pneumonia like I did last spring, I finally decided to go see a doctor at the Graves Gilbert Walk In Clinic.

I was given a prescription of a pretty strong antibiotic. I've taken it twice and this morning I am feeling a lot better. Not going to give details but I can tell that the medicine is already working.

I'm glad because coming up later this month, I've got to help my wife with a couple of Color Street vendor events and got some organization and holiday decorating to do here at the house. We've got a fun weekend getaway in St. Louis with our friends, Mark & Patty scheduled for mid month, and, of course, there's Thanksgiving at the end of November.

Because there have been times where I've felt better over the last 3 weeks, I'm not going to rush to get back to my "normal" routine. Just going to rest and take it easy till the start of next week. Then it's back to business.

But I just wanted to put up this post, to get out into the universe my optimism about feeling better and getting back to being me. I got too much to do to waste time being sick.

Thanks for taking the time to read this relatively short post. I'll be back on Friday with the story of the day I spent in Nashville with some friends from Pennsylvania. See you then.
