Yesterday I went for my follow up appointment to the doc. I still have an infection, and my white blood cell count is still high. So, I am on round two of antibiotics. I blame it on the fact that I had to work in the hospital on the days I was still sick, thus not getting enough rest. I probably didn't need to run that extra half marathon either. Oh well. So, I stayed out of the pool this morning and hopefully this will clear up soon enough.
But, more antibiotics? I don't even know where to start on this topic. The fact that Dave has not been to the doctor for being sick since he was a kid, and Gina hasn't had antibiotics since 9th grade makes me cringe thinking about my poor body. I get sick probably 3x a year- and I never clear up on my own. My lungs always have problems- from bronchitis which is pretty much chronic to pneumonia.
There has got to be a better way. What can I do to make my body healthier? What am I doing wrong?

Sounds like a nosocomial infection to me! Hospital...sickness that recurred...I think you need to stay away from those things. I always seem to get sick when I start tapering, too. Get well soon! :)
Rest Damie, you need rest. Sorry to be so blunt, but you are the marathoningest person I know! ;) You are amazing babe! Love ya and hope you feel better soon!!!!!
I was sick this week too. I thought maybe it was allergies, but I've never felt so awful. I'm convinced I picked something up from one of the snotty-nosed kids at the preschool. I hope you're feeling better and it's nothing serious. Good swim for being sick!
