So, it seems to be a trend with me to be sick and somewhat miserable during the Christmas season. I'm on track to be sick for the fifth year in a row.
In 2005, I was of course sick with cancer during the holidays and spent Christmas morning in the hospital. That's the most extreme it has been, but that was the beginning of my terrible immune system.
In 2006, my dad had cancer during Christmas, but fortunately he was not in the hospital. We were just anticipating his upcoming surgery at the beginning of the year. I believe I also had a bad sinus infection as well.
In 2007 I had a staph infection on my right leg that was so painful I could barely sit down. I spent Christmas morning with a heating pad on my leg.
In 2008 it was another sinus infection/cold. Antibiotics meant no celebratory wine for me.
Now here we are in 2009 and I am yet again on antibiotics and other various medications.
So, my goal for 2010 is to be marathon ready on Christmas morning. I want to be obnoxiously hyper and ready for anything. In fact, it would be nice to not get sick all year long.
Dear Santa:
Please bring me the cure for horrible sinuses and a low immune system. And don't make it an exercise plan....I'm too lazy. ;)
xoxo
Beth
