About that cold and other randomness

Sharing is caring!

So I have…the croup!  Like a baby gets.  At least that’s the term my doctor gave me.  Then I went to Dr. Google to research after a friend told me it was just laryngitis and she was right.  But JUST laryngitis?  Oh please.  I haven’t had a good nights rest in 5 nights because I cough, like a seal, with no progression and that’s with a mountain of drugs they gave me.  I did get to sleep from about 3:00am to around 7:30 this morning and then coughed for a solid hour with some progression.  I even took a shower that included more then just washing my hair.  But now it’s 3:30 and I am supposed to take a test today.  All I want is a nap.  Everyone’s napping.  I know if I lay down I’ll just cough for 6 hours and not actually rest, so what’s the point when I could just take this test and move on with my life.  

You guys the laryngitis croup struggle is real.  Sometimes my throat is so swollen I can’t get enough air in my lungs and then I end up coughing until I almost pass out.  I can’t feel my throat hurting though because they gave me some crazy anesthesia type medicine that numbs my throat to hopefully decrease swelling.   The exhaustion is unreal.  I can barely sit up without feeling like I need to nap for 22 days and just crossing my legs is work.  My voice is near gone, I don’t even remember what it sounds like.  Definitely less manly then it does right now without squeeks and breathy sounds. 
Basically I’m a hott mess.  Pray for me folks.  It might be a rough few weeks!
