Stubborn

I'm selectively stubborn.


I'm not the kind of stubborn that always has to be right, and not the kind of stubborn that stands tall and won't be the first to apologize during an argument. No, that's not me at all...in fact, I'm normally a pretty big baby during arguments.


However, my stubbornness comes out full force when I'm sick.


I'm a..."oh, I'll be fine. I don't need that medicine. It'll just go away on it's own" kind of stubborn.


Sometimes I'm right, and sometimes...most of the time, I'm wrong.


I've had a terrible cough for the past month. After about week 3 I figured it wasn't going any where soon and it sounded more and more like I was smoking 10 packs of cigarettes a day...which was not the case at all.


After a lot of convincing from my parents and C, I went to urgent care yesterday after work...


Bronchitis. I have bronchitis, and my stubborn self was trying to fight through it without medicine. I have apparently lost my mind and all sense of knowing when I need to see a doctor and get an antibiotic.


24 hours later and I am feeling 100 times better!


Truth is though, if I had gone just 2 weeks in to this cough mess they would have sent me away and told me to take Mucinex. I'd like to think I waited just the perfect amount of time before going :) ha!


So...the lesson is...I have got to drop my stubbornness in the sick department and send it else where!


Very very thankful I am feeling better tonight and very thankful for these sweet people that have put up with this nasty cough for so long. Thanks Doctors for doing your job. You sure do make life a lot more enjoyable!


Happy Tuesday!
