Sick, Sick, Sick and more sick, weigh in and catch up

I finally went back to the doctor yesterday. It has been over 2 weeks. She said that the problem with the antibiotic they gave me the first time is that if it doesn’t kick it… that it makes it more resistant, so she had to give me the big guns this time. She asked me if I thought I had a sinus infection, and I was like, ‘UH, YAH!’ (I had just filled her in about how HORRIBLE the sinuses got on Sunday and messed with my equilibrium to the point I was dizzy and nauseous!!! and I couldn’t turn my eyes let alone my head… man that was fun… I had to have the dd looking over my shoulder to tell me when the light changed cuz I couldn’t look backwards to even get us home!!!)
Got to love it when she looks in my nose and said, ‘Oh, there is a lot of crud in there!!!’ I filled her in about all my other appointments while I was there as well. (and on the fact Ken is having surgery and they are talking about surgery on K’s knees too!) She gave me my new Rx, and I stopped and got yeast infection meds on my way to GET the Rx… I said if they are that strong, I am not even going to wait til it is bad… and then last night I got some Activia. (if nothing else, their light has less calories and carbs than any of the other light yogurt I read last night!!)
K is over her stuff, just having an emotional week… and Ken was doing better until yesterday, but the good thing is, his pre-op appointment was yesterday, so the ENT actually got to see how bad it gets for him (and was nice enough to spray him good and open things up!!) Surgery is next week and I think once he gets past the initial pain and stuff, he is going to be able to breathe so much better!
Today should also be weigh in day… and as I was sitting here feeling the horrible nastiness that is going on in the lower abdomen, I realized I forgot to weigh before I ate this morning… the biggest problem with a delay is that I set the TV to come on at 5:30 am and I wake up when it comes on and don’t go back to sleep, so I made coffee and breakfast by 6 AM!!) I will still jump on after I get in the shower… and I know I finally had gotten off 4 of the 5.6 lbs I had gained while sick. I swear I think I am the only person who actually GAINS when she is sick. My friend Jeani was sick over the weekend and lost 6 POUNDS on SATURDAY. I would be so happy… and she ate and still lost!!! She has lost so much, she can’t afford to lose any more. Maybe I need the mouth infection she got back at the beginning of the year…. she lost over 20+ lbs in like the 2 weeks she had it without trying (granted she had been trying before she got it) With my luck, I would gain the 20+
Oh, and HELP!!! a quick computer geek question for someone who is reading here and not at Crayons…. I upgraded WordPress (and have the new upgrade sitting here, I just need upgrade to the host and don’t want to deal right now)… anyway, I have to MANUALLY put in all paragraph breaks… am I missing a button that I need to have checked or something??? Is it just a MAC thing?? (although I am pretty sure I had to do it on the piece of S*@# in the basement). Any help would be appreciated, cuz this is getting old!!! Especially since if I save and come back in to edit, I have to put them all back in all over again!!!!
