Eventually, I Will Learn to Prioritize Myself ...
... but, for now, I have a bronchitis-like cough (which I have had on-and-off since January), an intermittently-spiking low-to-medium-grade fever, and a UTI.
Telemedicine is awesome; I got to chat with a doctor, get medicine for the UTI, a rescue inhaler for the cough, and further instructions all without leaving the house. (Further instructions = "start using a pulmonologist to treat your asthma instead of black coffee")
Cough responds to both the inhaler and the OTC cough syrup I've been taking.
I've had 3 doses of the antibiotic (which I'm supposed to take 4x/day) and my stubble no longer hurts.
But, because this is 2020, I also have menstrual cramps. (Fortunately, they are very treatable with heat & ibuprofen.)
And, of course, because this is DH, telling him I wasn't feeling well and probably couldn't manage DD today went over like a lead balloon - I was accused of "taking out [my] sh!t on him" when all I said was that I really couldn't be the "default parent" today. I guess my tone was a little off because I had full-body pain from my UTI. )
What's going on in "I am not a priority land" with you?
