Heading for Belize this saturday, booked months and months ago.................
This past Sunday I'm at my daughters softball game and I start to feel a little off. Not sick but just run down a little. Hmmmm, knowing myself well enough I know somethings coming on but it could just be the weather. Monday comes around and I'm still feeling run down so I hit the vitamins, drinking orange juice and plan to getting to bed a little earlier that night. As I am going on vacation I can not take anytime off to rest so I have to go to work. Tuesday rolls around and I'm no better. With me, when I start to get sick my eyes start to hurt then I can feel a little something in my chest. Thats how it always starts. Anyway, I go to the Doctor and he knows me by now, he knows I have something in the works. He prescribes me a Z-pack. It's tuesday so I should fine by thursday/friday or at least feeling better since I caught it early enough, right? Well it's thursday morning and I'm no better. I can feel tightness in my chest, eyes still hurt and still run down. No coughing and no sinus issues yet.
So now what to do? We have to leave friday night to head for a hotel to catch a very early saturday flight. I do not want to be stuck in Belize and sick and I do not want to stick my dive buddy and leave him alone or ruin his trip plus it's a double room. Maybe by Saturday with the Z-pack I'll be fine, maybe not but I have to make a decision today or tomorrow morning at the latest.
We make these plans with the best of intentions but you just can not control some things.
Frustrating...
