The good news is, I'm still alive!
The bad news is, I'm still not out of the woods. But we're getting closer!
The migraines of Tuesday have left me - but that sinus infection thingie decided it needed to teach me something, and moved into my chest and lungs and promptly unpacked and decided to make itself at home. This week has been a write-off, and for awhile there I wasn't sure I was going to make the weekend. Bronchial passages clogged up to here left we gasping for air on more than a few occasions - and no, I didn't take the cough medicine Karen advised me to take - I'm stubborn, remember? I needed to cough this crap up and get it out of my system.
Luckily work has been slow this week, so taking time to heal wasn't an issue - I doubt anyone would have wanted to see me in that condition anyway! Sleeping has been the toughest part of this, I couldn't lay down without getting everything clogged up which caused more coughing fits, which aggravated the headaches... it was a viscous cycle.
T-3's helped with the headache pain, and the codeine helped keep the coughing down - but until the airways get totally clear I'm not about to say I'm over this whatever-it-was. I did learn that cold air helped my breathing, and that a hot steaming bath almost killed me - I'll store that useful information for a later date.
I slept well last night, so I'm making progress.
Riley played his latest playoff game (that's game number 4 for those of you keeping track at home) this evening - remember they lost their first game, so one more loss means the season's over - they met their nemesis from Fort Richmond tonight(a team we have battled with over the past few seasons and who ended our season 2 years ago in overtime - we don't think kindly of them, or them of us for that matter)and it was a tight checking, defensive battle, with Riley's team (the Falcons) getting goals in the first and second period to take a 2-0 lead into the final frame.
Some subjective officiating game Richmond a powerplay midway through the third, and they managed to squeeze one past our goalie. The intensity was high, the battle fierce, and when the dust settled and the buzzer went to end the game, the Falcons skated away with a 2-1 win!
The boys have gone from being seeded 15th out of 16 teams in the city, to now being one of the final 6 teams left playing! They get another chance to keep the season alive tomorrow (Sunday) at 12:50, when they take on Fort Garry, 11-4-3 in the regular season, but against our Falcons they won 1, lost 1, and tied 1.
Should be one heck of a game! Go Falcons!

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. Hopefully you'll be back to your old self soon. And I don't mean old, like OLD. I just mean the healthy version of you.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be thinking of Riley on Sunday. I hope those Falcons kick some Fort Garry butt. (Although, when I hear Fort Garry it conjures up images of eggs benedict and unlimited tea service at the hotel and not hockey stick weilding teenie-boppers....but I digress.)
Go Riley! Go Falcons!
ReplyDeleteKeep getting better, Reid!
Feel better my friend. I hope whatever tear in the universe that's causing you such illness and discomfort is soon repaired. Steen's migraines go in cycles, so I guess sometimes there is just nothing to be done.
ReplyDeleteSunday evening, it's warm enough for us to be sitting out in our porch listening to music. Spring is on the way, it is hard to imagine hockey. I hope the Falcons won.

So are you done being gross and disgusting yet?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, my sympathy runs deep. Just not wide. Ok, it's wide too. But once I get inconvenienced, well...that's just not a good thing.
So I'm gonna go with you are done being gross and disgusting now.
You're welcome.
