not feeling so well

It’s been 4 days since we finished cleaning my dad’s room (he hadn’t cleaned it for 9 years).

My mom and I are still experiencing lung congestion, sinus and Eustachian tube pain and fullness, throat pain, and Saturday night I developed an eye infection in BOTH eyes.

I haven’t had an eye infection in at least 1-1/2 years 🤢 (I get them easily but I’ve learned how NOT to get them and only get them when I’m surprised by something gross like dirty stuff falling on me -- is that a normal thing? Hahaha!).

We really should’ve worn face masks and eye protection, but we just didn’t imagine it would be THAT bad and make us sick. I used to wear that stuff when I helped clean out houses.

Yeah I know he had developed hives and was sick himself, but... still?

😡 we should’ve known better

cut because of course this got longer than i thought it would 😝

We’re taking allergy pills, Mucinex, I’ve been taking eye drops, and I’ve been doing occasional albuterol puffs. We should’ve done the albuterol nebulizer treatments right after cleaning his room.

We’ll be fine. I’m just griping.
