I hate antibiotics!

I seriously do hate antibiotics. All of them. Because no matter which one I take (This time, it's Augmentin), whether I take it with or without food, they always make me vaguely feel like I want to barf. Not REALLY like I'm gonna barf. Not like, "Clear the path between me and the Porcelain God!" But just vaguely barfy, enough to make me feel really, really "Ugh" and to regard food with deep and foreboding suspicion. (God, I think I've eaten MAYBE 2,000 calories in the past week...) And sometimes, when I cough hard or a lot, some stuff does come up. So my body wants to barf, but...ugh. No like. And I've got like 5 more days of them, which I have to stick with because I'm not really feeling like being the incubator of the next Antibiotic-Resistant Germ from Hell.

Also! Do your Kegels, girls. Especially those of you who have procreated, but it probably applies to you far wiser non-procreators out there. 'Cuz I'm at the age when, when you cough hard or sneeze, you leak. Is not fun. I'm wearing a nice thick pad for a whole shiny new reason now! Yippee! In this, I should have taken my sister's advice. I was all, "I only had one kid! They can't be that weak!" Well, apparently, they are.

So...more excuses to use my Wonder from Canada! *snicker, eyebrow waggle*

UGH!

BUT! At least I feel a little more human. One ear is still blocked and completely non-functional and feels all weirdly numb and echo-y and stuff, but the other is clear now. My sinuses are pretty clear, though they are still clogging a bit when the decongestants are wearing off. My eyes aren't goopy now. Is nice to wake up and NOT have my eyelids welded shut with thick, nasty eye goop. The blocked ear is dripping, though, which trickles and tickles down the back of my throat, so I still cough a lot and my voice is...funky. Mostly non-existent, but usually I can get out a sentence or two now before it utterly dies.

Yeah, this is fun. :P Hope y'all are having a better April than I've had. :p

tmi, general whining
