its the little things

I wish I could find a doctor who cared more about getting me better than making money off of me. Ever since my sinus surgery I feel like my ENT doc just doesnt care. Whereas, before my surgery he was always very concerned and eager to get me well. My surgery actually worked. I've still gotten a couple sinus infections but not nearly as many as I use to. I got one in April and one in Oct. Makes sense because its change in seasons.

After he treated me for a sinus infection in Oct he told me to come back 2 weeks later so he could make sure I was completely better. Usually I cancel those because I dont need to pay him to tell me I'm better. This time I was feeling sicker so I decided to just go. I knew I didnt have a sinus infection anymore though. I had a bad cough, chest pains and it was hard to breathe.. my lungs hurt! I told him all that and he didnt even do a chest xray and wouldn't give me cough meds even though I begged for them. He just said that he partially treated me for my sinus infection 2 weeks before and prescribed me nose spray + z-pak+2shots!

I woke up the next morning feeling WORSE! My voice sounded horrible! I went to work feeling crappy but I didnt have a fever or anything so I saw no point in taking off work. At 9am my boss looked at me and It sounded like I had walking pneumonia. I thought she was being a bit extreme! I left work 3 hours early. My boss said I needed to go home and rest so I could be back at work the next day but my chest was hurting me so much that it scared me and I decided to see another doctor. Jackson was worried about me so he met me at the doctors office without me even knowing he was coming. After a strep test, Flu test, chest xray, and a buncha blood being taken from me.... The doc confirmed my boss' guess --- walking pneumonia! I'd never even heard of it.

Jackson picked me up from my house, took me to get hot'n'spicy soup and back to his house for me to sleep. He was so sweet to me, well he always is but he took such good care of me! I've never dated a guy that actually cared so much about me to take care of me when I was sick. He bought me Gatorade and i rarely got out of bed for 24 hours. I pretty much slept the entire time. He made me a biscuit in the middle of the night because he didnt want me to get sick from taking so much medicine and not eating. He brought me lunch on his lunch break at work. He's good to me :) and I love it. I'm better now... still a little achy.

I signed up for two 5ks in December back-to-back! Dec 4 & 5. I'm pretty sure its because they're christmasy races and I absolutely love Christmas! :) So um I need to start running more.
- Have I already started Christmas shopping? Why, YES I have!
- Am I already listening to Christmas music? Sure am!
If I had a house to decorate it would soooo already be decorated on the inside! My mom thinks I'm insane but I always wait until they put holiday decorations on major sale and I go buy up everything I love and put it in storage!

Earlier I received a text from Jackson "I think you think i'm cute or something. can i take you out sometime?"
my response "hmm idk. I'll have to think about it."


then i got a little busy and didnt look at my phone for a bit but when i did this is what i read... "I'd love to take you to get some sushi at 5 different places while its raining and then go sit on someones back porch for a while. i'll just hold your hand in the car and maybe kiss you." gahh he makes me smile.

I'm not really sure when our first officially date was because I'm not positive when we stopped "hanging out" and started "dating". Is that sad?! But I think our 2 real date he told me that we were going to get sushi. because he loves sushi too. we seriously went to 5 different japanese restaurants because they were all PACKED on a Friday night. We ended up getting a to go order and going over to my friends house and eating it.

Its the little things :)
