Sicker than a Dog

Ok, I know I've been slacking on updating my blog, even after I said I'd try to post more. But honestly, I don't have that much to talk about. My life really isn't that eventful. The only thing that's really happened lately is that Don bought a hot tub (ok, worth a little talking about) and I got sick.

So Don and I went into the hot tub store, I thought, to just look around and before I knew it, he was signing the papers! I couldn't believe how fast it happened! The landscaping guys are supposed to be building our deck soon and the hot tub will be delivered and when it does, it'll be PURE heaven!!!

Sunday, I got so sick I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. I woke up Sunday night at 2am and, well, to keep this clean, I had stuff coming out both ends. It was the stomach flu. I had stomach pains like you wouldn't believe and I was laying on the bathroom floor writhing around. I was so close to waking up Don to ask him to take me to the hospital. But I guess I figured if I could ride it out just a little while, I'd get over the worst part--which lasted about 2 1/2 hours. I finally got back to bed when the pain subsided enough for me to get a little sleep, but I was back in the bathroom an hour and a half later. GOD I wanted to die!!

I think the part that sucked the most was having to throw up. It was so bad, I nearly threw my back out and I couldn't take any pain medicine for it because I wouldn't have been able to keep it down anyway. So I just had to wait till the nausea subsided. Thankfully it did a few hours later--at least enough for me to keep the Advils down. But whenever I get nauseous, I have to keep cool or else it makes me feel worse, so I was having to balance not being chilled with not being too hot under the covers--I hate being cold anyway, but if I got too hot, the stomach pains would get worse. Seemed like such a difficult balance to keep while feeling so awful. And even when the worst was over, I still had a 100.2 degree fever & chills, but nothing a little Tylenol couldn't break.

Needless to say, I had to call in sick but luckily, it only lasted about 24 hours. But even Tuesday, when I went back to work, it was hard to get through the day because I was so exhausted. Plus my apetite is still diminished--though that's probably a good thing. Seems I caught it from someone who came into the dojo a couple days after he had gotten over it. It's how I caught it the last time. They're all better, but I still catch it. UGH. But today, I feel like myself again. Rested and healthy. Thank goodness!

I'm very sorry to hear that you were so sick! I'm glad you're feeling better now.
