In Recovery

So, I think it has been a little while since I posted anything on here. Probably because nothing exciting has happened, and also I have been sick with a cold for almost two weeks now. At first it was nothing bad, but then I got what is wonderfully termed, a 'post nasal drip', which translated, means: excrutiating pain in the throat and ears. So I went to the Sackville hospital, waited for 3 hours, and the doctor told me to drink water and sleep with a pillow under my head. After another 3 days of completely zero sleep and lots of pain, I went back for another 2 1/2 hour wait, to return with antibiotics and tylenol 3s. Well, I thought this would be heaven, as the pain would finally be gone. Only to find out that I can't handle the codeine in tylenol 3s, and proceeded to throw up several times all over the bathroom. So that was fabulous. The last few days I have just been left with a cough, which keeps me sleeping on the couch at night, as it is easier to sleep semi-upright. All in all, I missed the deadlines for two papers and missed one end-of-term presentation. What great timing. I'm finally getting caught up with things, and yesterday was my last class ever at MTA. Only exams left! We had a potluck to celebrate, and I made chilli and cornmeal muffins. Apparently my cooking skills are improving greatly.
