I will have been away from work for 22 day as of this coming wednesday. It all started because of a sinus infection from a big allergy attack, so i took two sick days off. I had already put in for two vacation days prior to that. Those two was the next shift after the [...]

I had the usual allergy attacks i get this time of year about 3 nights ago and it has turned into a sinus infection. I’m running a low grade fever and may take my next two work days off, if i don’t feel a lot better tomorrow. I’m taking lots of allergy meds and i’ll [...]

I’m bored here at work so I thought I would post something. I’m still getting over an allergy thing which settled in my chest and gave me laringitis just before it got to this point. Same old story, I’ll cough for about a week before I get rid of it. It makes for very sleepless [...]

Dang, what a diet. I call it the slit your throat, cut your hip diet. Really, kids, it works like the devil. Actually i just took a pain pill and my outlook is better. Really, i am better today, i started a prednisone dosepack last night to bring down the swelling in my throat to [...]

Day six post surgery today and I feel better than i did yesterday. It’s a day to day thing that’s for sure. Improvements in small increments sometimes. I walked around the block today. The weather has been great for getting well. It’s still hard to get some pills to go down my throat, i’ve never [...]
