So, we finally got home from Denver late Wednesday night. We are finally settling into somewhat of a routine, but still dealing with up and down blood sugars and dosing changes, etc.
After sleeping in a hospital for 2 nights and a hotel for 3, I tried to rest as much as possible Thursday and Friday, but we had a lot of errands to run (prescriptions, meeting wmoith the school, etc). The adrenaline on which I lived for about a week finally all subsided yesterday. I've pretty much been holding down my bed since yesterday late morning, but am still exhausted, weak, dizzy and in pain. To simplify, I am out of steam.
I started to get pretty congested and my throat starting hurting last night. I'm not sure if I have a cold or am getting a sinus infection, but I am not feeling stupendous. The congestion is making the dizziness worse and I just feel like a lazy bump on a log (though I know it's a necessary evil).
I love my mom dearly and she and my dad helped out tremendously over the days we were gone, but can anyone else relate to a relative/friend who can never just let you be sick and not feel good? I tell me my mom that on top of my MS fatigue, etc, that I'm getting sick. She tells me that I just feel bad because the weather is changing...her and my dad were having sinus issues yesterday and her body hurts, too. My mom has severe degenerative disc disease and lives with a lot of pain and I get that. But every time she tells me that her back is hurting, I don't chime in with how much my legs hurt or tired I am.
I don't think I'm looking for sympathy necessarily, but it gets frustrating to be "one-upped" every time I'm having a bad day. I hope I don't sound selfish, but I just needed to vent somewhere.
