This cough and cold is kicking my butt!!!

I asked Keith today:  How come this cough is worse than having cancer?????

I have been dealing with a horrible cough and cold since last Tuesday.  I have lost my voice and am still sounding like a frog.  I have also been coughing uncontrollably these past three days.  I was able to have my treatment on Friday since I have not had a fever throughout the whole time.  I am choking when I cough which is now the most annoying and painful symptom left.   

I have also kept going through the last week... I was able to get to most of the events and activities with a few exceptions.  Of course that could be why I am still sick!  I guess I am still learning to stop overdoing it but I really cannot stop living and I am trying to keep life normal for the girls.

It is the twins 6th birthday!!!  My babies are 6!!!  I am so amazed at looking back over the years from the first time the ultrasound technician told us there was a chance we were having twins!!!  I will be coming full circle in a few weeks... I will be going for my annual gyne appointment on November 21st.  This is the office in which I have been told I am pregnant, I have miscarried and I have a lump.  These are all ups and downs of my life but when I walk in the door this time I am a more well rounded woman who is so thankful for all that I have been given in this life!  I am so grateful to my doctor for helping me get through all the major events in my life.  She was such a fantastic guide on this cancer journey as she recommended all the medical staff that are on my team.  This will be one more milestone on this journey!

I am off to do homework and the nightly routine and then to put myself to bed to hope I can sleep this cold away!!!
