a nasty nasty cold with a sore throat. How do I know this????? B/C I now have it. My head is killing me. My throat feels like sharp daggers when I swallow and I am coughing from post nasal drip and tasting battery acid mucus, and I'm finding it hard to breathe b/c the mucus is pooling. Did I mention this is just lovely.
Of course, we are going to MIL's on Wednesday. She and I have no fever. I'm tempted to call the ped tomorrow morning to find out what I can do for her over and above what I am doing. If she follows her normal pattern this will end up as a sinus infection or ear infection, but not for several more days (while we are away of course). I forsee a trip to the local ER (there are no walk in clinics where MIL lives). Did I mention we have been to this ER about 3 times over the past 7 years b/c one or both of the kids had a cold that morphed while we were visiting.
