Bugs are Icky!

Pesky little virus. I took mom back to the doc today since she’s still not up to par. She is mostly better, but having a ton of sinus trouble and is very tired. At least it’s out of her lungs and they are clear now. phew. The doc said that the sinus trouble is what’s causing mom not to smell or taste food. She’s so bored with it all. She forces herself to eat but she figures, why bother because she can’t taste anything. I’ve never known her not to be able to smell. She has a sniffer like a bloodhound.  We discussed the RSV virus and the doc said it’s very possible that’s what she has since it’s lingering so much. She said it’s the secondary bacterial infections she worries about, so more antibiotics were given. She did tell mom to stay away from as many people as she could until she feels 100%. No sense in exposing herself to even more bugs. That means, no shopping of any kind, and we were just on our way to the grocery store after the appt. And no rehab either. So for now, she’ll just rest and rest and have to be satisfied by shopping from QVC. Oh Darn.  It will be difficult but I think she’ll manage. *wink*
