tonsillitis still life

turns out i have tonsillitis. yup. didn't see that one coming. sinusitis and bronchitis are really my -itises of choice. anyway in honor of my infected tonsils i would like to do a little run through of my new meds:
1. antibiotics
2. allegra d - to dry out my massive congestion. my dr. couldn't see my sinuses. that's how congested i am. my sinuses cannot be found. but i assure you, they're there.
3. steroids (that's right i'm juicing) - in order to stop the swelling of my tonsils and nasal passages
4. zantac - because the steriods most likely will upset my digestive system
5. diflucan - because the antibiotics and the steroids might give me .... um ... lady trouble.
6. vitamins c & e
now, this is on top of me already taking singulair and nose spray and acidophillis and vitamin b daily. so now i am taking so many pills i can't fit them all in my old lady pill holder. impressive, no?

Once I marry my man, I will be your -itis of choice. With Knitis as my last name, I'll be an inflammation of myself.

This itis crap really does suck, though. And plays into your addiction to old-lady pill containers (druggie). I wish you & your sinuses the best of luck in getting back to normal & being seen again. At least a diagnosis & a treatment are better than random sickness with no end in sight.

If you get your tonsils out, the man & I'll make you your very own ice cream!

yes, i guess when you and your man get hitched you will be my favorite -itis. then sinusitis, and it's a toss up for third between bronchitis and tonsillitis.

you guys make your own ice-cream? my god, is there anything you can't do? i'm not supposed to eat dairy right now, so i bought some soy based dairy-free iced dessert. it's way better than it sounds.

Thanks for backing me up on that. It won't be easy to be an -itis, but it will be an honor. Ha -- I couldn't say that with a straight face on a good day.

We got an ice cream maker yesterday, so there's no end to what we can attempt. How it tastes is a different story -- we'll have a lot of experimentation to do. Are you referring to SoyDelicious? 'Cause that is some damn good dairy-free ice cream. We'll try to copy that at home as well.
