So my last post was pretty much a rant. I wasn’t feeling good and just knowing that somebody complained about something so…asinine….just made my night worse. Anyway…here we are 12 days later and I CAN BREATHE AGAIN!! Oh my god dudes. I did not realize how well my nose WASN’T working until I went to work the other day and could actually smell the flowers we have in front. Egads….they smelled so good. I though I could smell fine before..psh. My ability to smell before was like..3% compared to now. In addition to being able to breath and smell..I can also taste things properly and hear things! w00t!!
Apparently my sinus infection also got into my ears..both ears and it was starting to affect my hearing. I don’t need the TV up so loud anymore..I actually understand why my boyfriend jokingly calls me “Clark Kent” when I type… (I type fast..and to type one sentence sounds like I’ve only hit 3 keys..). I didn’t realize how much of the world I was missing out on until I regained my senses. Ironically…I put off going to the doctor because although I knew something was wrong with me..I was trying too hard to be like my mother….and I’m not her. I’m me. Getting sick and then going through the process of getting better…most people wouldn’t consider a sinus infection a life changing event..but for me it was. It made me realize that although I am my mother’s daughter….I’m not her. I don’t have her hardy constitution..although I do have a pretty good one….and while I do have her work ethic, as much as I loathed having to call out, I realize now that in order for a body to heal..it needs to rest, and that working a crazy schedule like I do (i don’t have a set schedule yet..I’m a the mercy of the scheduling manager) is detrimental to my health. So there are a few steps I need to take to get my life on track. Happily I know when to listen to the signs given to me..for as stubborn as I am.
