Everlasting Cold

I have had a cold that will not quit! It officially started 8 days ago, the first two days were just a sore throat. I did zicam every three hours and thought for sure I was going to get rid of it. WRONG! I finally went to the dr. on Sunday because I had no energy and was not getting any better. He just told me that I had a viral infection and prescribed some Tylenol Cold for me, which I already had a ton of. Then, I woke up with a toothache on Monday as if things couldn't get any worse. I took Tylenol all day and today called the dentist. My principal was nice enough to let me slip out for a little while today and run to the dentist. They took xrays and examined my teeth because I was sure I was going to need something major like a root canal because that was just my luck. I was pleasantly surprised that I had nothing wrong. He said that my sinuses are probably inflamed which is irritating something near my teeth. What a relief because I am not fond of the dentist and was already in tears that I had to go. So, now I just can't stop coughing. I just can't believe I am not over it! I have so many pictures to post of my back yard, but so little time. I will be back soon.

Sorry to hear you are feeling so crummy Amy. Genn and Jake and the kids had it, and I will probably be next, as I can't resist kissing those little cherub faces!!!
Get well.

You too? I'm sorry! Sounds like you and Claire are in the same boat. Jake took her to the pediatrician this morning and he said it is most likely just a bad cold, but since it's been 9 days he gave us a prescription of Amoxicilin for her just in case she does have a secondary infection.

I hope you start feeling better soon.

I think we have the same cold... I am on day 9 of it, and boy is it a nasty one! There must be one icky bug going around! It's been miserable! Hope you feel better soon (and we do too!).
