Once we got to Vegas, I lost my voice. I've been having dry coughing fits and now my chest cavity is in immense pain, it even feels like I've hurt my ribs. Last year I had whooping cough, one of the worst things ever, so I was afraid of that happening again. And every spring I tend to get Tonsillitis or Strep Throat... not how I want to spend my vacation.
Yesterday I woke up in our hotel at 6am, sore throat and coughing. We got ready and headed to Whole Foods for some Echinacea. TO ANYONE READING, I swear by this stuff, I mix about 40 drops with juice and it work miracles whenever I have any sort of throat problems.
Last night, after driving another 6 hours, I was exhausted. Looking forward to sleep, I took some prescribed Hydrocodone at 9pm and hit the hay. I tossed and turned ALL NIGHT, 11 hours of staring at the wall, feeling all sorts of awful, and I maybe got 10 minutes of sleep.
Now I'm in sort of a dreaming state. We're about to meet my mom for lunch and get this girl a hair cut. Here's to hoping for a nap!
Here's where we spent a majority of our time in Vegas. Our hotel room had mirrored ceilings and a tub as big as my kitchen! Mama did good.
mmm, when i had bronchitis last month, i swore by my yogi echinacea tea :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! :( That's awful. I know how much it sucks to get sick as you go on vacation. I was sick for like 3 weeks and thought it was a cold gone sinus infection but it's just really bad allergies. Never had them before. SO awful!
ReplyDeleteMy friend swears by Wellness Formula pills you can get at Whole Foods. I had my bf use them and they seemed to work! They have echinacea too. I buy this Traditional Medicinals Organic Lemon Echinacea Throat Coat tea and it's my jam. I also like their Breathe Easy tea as well. It really helps. I hope you feel better soon and you can enjoy your vacation.
