Stress= Bronchitis!!

This is my 2nd time already this year to have Bronchitis. You'd think I was a smoker with how much I've coughed this year. It all started last week, I was stressed about work. I was stressed about school. I was stressed about what my Dad's test results were going to turn out as. I was stressed with Erik. I was stressed but Hayden's breathing condition. Then it all came in full swing as the week progressed because I was going to bed at midnight even 12:30 and getting up at 6:30, a person's body just can't be ran down that much. All the stress did me no good. I ended up starting to cough on Friday morning, the more I was talking the more it went deeper into my lungs. I was using my inhaler, I was drinking water. I was fighting it with everything I had. I even stopped at the drug store on the way to work and picked up some dayquil. I had a 1/2 day on Friday, because I had to head to school and take my Access and Excel test.
Needless to say the 2 hours I had before school started went fast. By the time I eat lunch, and had to change. Their was no time to take a nap. (which I really needed) I ended up getting to school in plently of time only to wait outside the room standing for a good 15 minutes.
I mean it when I say my professor is an absoutle bitch. I'm not even kidding about it. The last time I came into the class I was right on time but I was told where I needed to sit. I sat down only to have her tell me where she wanted me to sit. The first time we had class she wanted us to all be on one side of the room, and this time she wanted us to be all spread out. Everyone is too scared to talk eachother anyway but, no only was I not feeling good but I couldn't really hear very well. I was completly on the opposite side of the room in the corner. My computer was acting funny from the very beginning. I was getting nervous as I was coughing so hard that I felt like I was going to throw up. It wasn't a good feeling at all. She briefy explained what we would be doing. The class didn't end until 5:50 and that she was going to have each of us go in the back of the room and do stuff in Access with her.
She wanted us to grab a number in the box, when it got to my turn which was towards the end I ended up getting #5 even though I was happy to not be last at the sametime I worried about the impact it would have on my test. Everyone had until 5:15 to finish the test. It was not at all what I was prepared for their were questions about formula's and there was all this stuff that I felt like I completly forgot, not to mention my head was hurting really bad.
When the test was beginning I had a rough start because my keys were acting funny I would ask the command with the mouse to bold something and it wouldn't bold it, It wouldn't underline it. I closed the application and had to restart, at first I tried to ask her what was going on and requested to change computers. She said " I can't help you there and walked away" Then she said " Who's Number 5, you'll be after her." I started to get sick to my stomach. I had no idea what she was expecting, at first I was doing great. I knew a couple of the things, I remembered what to do, but then others I was completly lost. She then threw something in I was expecting she asked what the errors were that were coming up. Are you kidding me I worked so hard on joining tables, I had no idea what she was asking. When I got back to my desk 20 minutes had past. And I wasn't even on the next section. I was so frustrasted. I continued to cough though the entire 3 hours. My throat was very raw, and water wasn't working.
It all of sudden was 5:00 and I still had a bunch of steps to do, to make matters worse. Something was wrong with the printer. And she had this rule that you couldn't get up and check if it printed, because of whatever. But, yet it wasn't working so each one by one had to print off stuff at the end. Time was up! Expect I wasn't able to leave. If I wanted to get any credit at all I had to print off my stuff I had thought others would hear my coughing and think I should let her go. I waited and waited some more. And, just in the middle of my coughing. My professor Janice, Said " Why don't you go out here and get a drink of water", very snotty like not concerned, more annoyed then anything. I said" I have water here at my desk, I'm sick " She sorta paused looked at the clock. I think everyone was a little shocked by my reply, But, I was fed up! I was already not sure if I was going to pass the class, after all the hard work I put in. All came down to Access and Xcel. I didn't like it at all. Finally, I was able to print my stupid 4 sheets. I didn't have all of the test so it didn't take long. I couldn't of bolted out of there fast enough. When I got out of the classroom and the building I decided that I had to go to urgent care. Only, I had to go to a Tier 2 ($40) because the one I had in mind closed at 6pm. So, I called Erik right away, because the plan was to get home so he could go out and do his roleplaying. Only, I was feeling like crap and no condition to take care of Hayden alone. Erik was less then thrilled and quite upset with me. It was his 4th time canceling with his group.
I got to urgent care office around 6:30, I waiting maybe a total of 20-25 minutes. The nurse checked me over, than the doctor came in. She was alot better then the one Erik and I had when Hayden had pink eye and we had to come in. She told me that I basically had Bronchitis. Which started to come on because of my allergies and asthma. I couldn't believe my cold turned into Bronchitis that fast. I was miserable. She gave me the choice to get and x-ray and check what was going on maybe, or to get it treated. I told her I just wanted treatment and she prescribed. Presodone for me( 5 days once a day) and Tussin with codoene and another inhaler to help me breath.
I stopped at the pharmacy and picked up my prescriptions, because of my coughing the urgent care Minute Clinic in CVS gave me a mask to where because she thought I would infect everyone. I grapped some soup and ginger ale and picked up my prescriptions and went on my way. I was tired and not feeling well at all.
When I got home, Erik was in the recliner just sitting back, from what it looked like Revenge of the Nerds, didn't say HI or get up. I went to change and came back out and finally Erik got up to help. He got my soup warmed up and was bringing it out to me only he brought the bowl out only for it to be filled to the rim and very hot!! I had to eat because I needed to take my first dose of medicine. I was miserable. And Erik was upset with me for having him cancel his night. I really wanted to see Hayden so I decided to use the soap everytime I coughed, While Hayden was having his tummy time. Erik and I got into a heated arguement. And ended up upset because he pretty much told me that it was my completly my fault and how things turned out for the week. ALl because I said that I stressed myself out, and got sick.
I hate yelling infront of Hayden, and so does Erik but we went into the bedroom and worked things out. I don't know what the weeks will bring, But, I'm hoping to god by some miracle I pass the Computer Applications class. I don't want to take it over again. I'm starting to wonder if I'm cut out for college. Erik was being so mean on Friday night. Because I said that I was worried about the Fall, because he was going to take 3 courses and that my school stuff doesn't seem to be as important as his. He said " So, drop out Lindsay" When the truth is I'm come along way and why would I just flush that down the drain. We argued back and forth. And finally I said that I didn't want to argue anymore, I didn't have the engery to and went to bed.
Saturday morning, we woke up and apolgized to eachother, and went over a couple of things and got right to work on our Psych pratice test. We ended up getting done and heading out for dinner and we stopped at Babies R US, and got Hayden some things, we had a nice family night. We also stopped at Best Buy!! We went home and Erik and I watched. Do you hear about the Morgans? Erik gave me a nice foot rub, after I had a shower.
On Sunday I slept in again, and Erik and I headed out to Sandy's (my mother in law birthday celebration) She wanted to go to a little Mom and Pop dinner in Shapokee. But, when we got there the wait was going to be over an hour. Erik and I were so annoyed. But, as I was recovering I didn't want to get all worked up about it so I just went with the flow. But, then Sandy said she wanted to go to Perkins. Great! I knew the food wasn't going to be great and the service was going to be so-so. Sure enough, we waited forever, are waitress was slow and the food was so-so. But, I made the best of it. All I cared about was the good company I had. It went really well and Erik and Beth (my sister in law) went to Cost-co and I took Damion and Hayden back to my place and we played a little Wii before they came back.
Right now all I am thinking about is how the house is an absoutle mess. But, I must take a easy tonight when picking up. Because the house can wait. I need to get better.
All in all it was an alright weekend. It didn't go as planned that's for sure, I didn't get Hayden's 6 month pictures done and I didn't get to see my parents, they didn't get to come over and see Hayden. But, hopefully everything with school and whatever else will work at in the end!!
