b-b-but Sudafed was my friend and I loved him!

Remember I mentioned The Husband wasn't feeling good last week? He had a hell of a cold. He slowly started to get better as the week went on and I thought, "Ha! I'm in the clear -- I didn't catch it!" Then Thursday morning rolled around and I woke up with the rawest of throats. Oh bugger.

I am so used to self-medicating myself when I get sick like this. Now I can see just how irritating it is to read, " . . . as with all medications, if pregnant or breast-feeding please consult a doctor before using." I think it says that on vitamin bottles, too. So I don't take anything and put in a call to my OB's nurse.

She calls back later in the day and says, "Well, since you're so early, we'd prefer you not use anything at all . . ." Oh, my God; seriously? She continued, ". . . but you can take Sudafed, Benadryl, and Tylenol." Yeah, but to me, that first sentence is what I'm going to try to go by, especially since the scare from earlier in the week. I will take nothing and like it.

At least, until this thing turns into a sinus infection, as colds tend to do with me. I hope antibiodics are okay.
