TammyinTN Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Jean....hoping you get an appointment asap! :grouphug: I've been awake since 4am... :confused1: ...I'm going to be tired today. Everyone is home for the day, but asleep. I hope they all sleep late! Today is our grand babies 4th birthday....I can't believe she's 4 and oh how I miss seeing her. Today I'll accomplish: school--lots to work on with ds...hope he's feeling better. tidy of the house and something hot for all meals--it's cold and will be getting even colder in the days to come. we got beautiful snow last night, so I hope to go for a walk and take some pictures. I miss living away from people where you could just pull on your boots with crazy hair and go for a quick walk. I'm sure here they would be all :scared: . work on some craft stuff and embroidery Have a good day everyone and hope all who are under the weather are feeling better soon!

Luckymama Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It's still snowing lazily :) Dh is out with the snowblower---if he didn't have an appointment w a client, he would work from home today. Poor dh. So up ahead: --school (I do chem, math, history, AP Human Geography w dd) --gentle stretching/exercise because my left Achilles is sore; icing --house things as usual --make a fun dessert for Fat Tuesday :D --edit dd's scholarship essay if she wishes; have her edit for a second draft --some emails --research for next school year --no ballet tonight because the school district is closed (the studio follows that closing schedule just for simplicity's sake--kids come from a wide radius) :grouphug: Jean :grouphug: Tammy, wow, four already!

I have no idea what it is we have, but dh was literally sweating in puddles all night and I shook with chills for 3 hours. I've never experienced anything like this. Hang in there everyone!

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Coughed until about 4 am before I was able to finally get some exhausted sleep for a couple of hours. I am not going to talk at all today. The pain and swelling is too great if I try. I'm trying not to sound dramatic but honestly if the throat swells even a bit more I'm facing a tracheotemy I think, to be able to breathe. Dh wants me to keep the ER in mind (and it is, sigh.) Once the kids are up I'll have ds call the ENT's office but if memory serves me right, today is a surgery day and not an office day for him. Dh wants me to skip the ENT for my primary if that is so, but I'm on the fence about this. I get his reasoning from a "this will be faster" perspective but even though my primary is an internal med guy and very competent, he's not an ENT. . . What to do, what to do. . . . I hate this sort of indecision. (Sorry - I know this thread isn't normally used for such musings but you all are my "daily peeps" and I'm doing a stream-of-consciousness thing here.)

SKL Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Jean, is there any chance that breathing some steam might help you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeLovePassion Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 is there another ENT in the practice that can see you on an emergency basis? (I totally get the medical indecision) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Went to the primary. His nurse was really worried about me and kept patting my arm going "You poor girl." The primary, though (who normally is a top-notch doc) said "It's a virus. There isn't anything I can do for you," So I went to the next thing which was dd's dental appt. I just got there and dh texted that the ENT agreed to see me after his surgeries. I am so glad that I went to him. He looked at me with scopes and mirrors that the primary does not have and said, "Did you know that you have a kind of tonsil that is at the base of the tongue? (Lingual tonsil). It's infected. I'm putting you on antibiotics." Then we spent five minutes figuring out what antibiotic to try since last year I started to react to EVERYTHING because my immune system was just shot. We chose one. Then he wanted to put me on pain meds because I've been in so much pain but after ten minutes of having to shoot every option down because I'm allergic to something in it, I told him to skip it. If I know the cause of the pain is being treated and there is an end in sight for the pain, I'm good. Or at least good enough. I'm exhausted.
