Looking on the bright side
I have a tendency to get sick before/during vacations. So it was no surprise that I was coughing the week before I left to Mexico. I thought I nipped it in the bud with nasal spray and asthma meds, but lo and behold ended up sick in bed with a full blown sinus infection while away. At least my mom forced me to go to the doctor to get anti-biotics just in case – was able to start meds straight away.
And while that isn’t the most fun, you know what’s way *less* fun? Getting stung by a scorpion and spending a night in hospital. In Mexico. Which is what happened to my friend on the second part of the trip.
So now instead of being annoyed for getting a sinus infection, I’m thankful it wasn’t anything worse.
