I apparently have the immune system of a 3 year old. My doctor informed me yesterday that I have an ear infection. So I’m on antibiotics and a heavy duty decongestant. He told me I’ll probably have the ear non-popping problem for at least a week to 10 days. I’ve come to the conclusion that I am allergic to my husband . You see, I very rarely had any health problems at all before him. Sure, I broke my arm roller skating when I was 10, and I had chicken pox like every other kid, but that’s about it.
Then I met J. Since we’ve gotten together about four and a half years ago I’ve had: my recent strep throat and ear infection, gum surgery, root canal, I’ve developed eczema, sinusitis, have had to start taking allergy medications, was involved in a car accident (not my fault) that put me in physical therapy for 6 weeks, flu, migraines, suffered various bumps and bruises due to falls, he bit me once and bruised me but good (it was an accident I swear- he wouldn’t hurt a fly), lost all my fingernails due to an allergic reaction to some nail salon chemical (that was a doozy), got food poisoning, burst blood vessels in my eyes as a result of the food poisoning (from the intense vomiting) and got pink eye.
He on the other hand, has had the flu once and has no cavities. The picture of good health. I take vitamins every day, eat vegetables, don’t smoke at all and drink only on occasion. His diet consists of pizza, hot wings, burritos and beer. Where’s the justice??
My wish to all of you is a very healthy, and happy new year!!
