Take this phlegm and shove it, yo!

Prior to my surgery...about 3 weeks prior, I got sick. It wasn't too be unexpected cuz I always come down with the same crud. I always try to self-medicate. I eventually figure out I can't and then I go to see the doctor. This time was different. I felt a sore throat pop up out of the blue on Tuesday. My FB friends were so kind to throw natural remedies my way from apple cider added to my water to honey in my tea, but I Nyquil'd myself just to get sleep and vowed to go to the doctor the next day.
Went to the ENT yesterday and low and behold I'm a mess. Just like that. My chest sounded tight, my ears both have infections, my nose is a wreck, and my throat is inflamed. So, I got an antibiotic shot in one hip, steroid shot in the other and I was sent home with an oral antibiotic and a nose spray.
Around 6:00pm, the steroid must have come to life in my body because I turned into a phlegm factory. I eventually went to bed just to wake up at 2:00am with all that crap lodged in my throat and lungs. I'm having a swell evening. So swell, in fact, I thought I would bring the word swell back. Missed it, didn't ya?
So, prayers for a speedy recovery would be appreciated as I leave on Monday for an extended business trip to Chicago and don't want to deal with my finicky sleeve on top of long days on top of crud.
Okay, whine is officially over. =D
