Baby Blues

I've been sick for a month now - one thing after another.  A cold, then the flu which had me in bed for 4 days straight, then back to a cold and then what I thought was strep throat. My throat and ears have been so sore that it literally brings tears to my eyes each time I swallow.   I've been trying to deal with it at home - polysporin ear drops, gargling with salt water, vicks, saline nasal spray... but it has been weeks of this, so I finally got my act together and went to the walk-in clinic tonight.  Yep - really bad double ear infection and throat infection as well.  YAY ME!  You know what they say... nurses make the worst patients, and apparently, I just want to keep that stereotype alive and well!  However...how can you look at that little face up there and not forget about a pesky little thing like pain??
