I had a doozy of a migraine headache along with a fever and chills. I felt like I had been hit by a truck.. then the truck backed up and did it again. It was THAT bad!
I couldn't sleep, I couldn't lay still, I couldn't sit up, I couldn't watch TV. All I could do was be MISERABLE!
Todd and Zachary were away looking at a college in FL. Ahren and Brandon took very good care of me, the dogs and feeding themselves. At one point I was passed out on the bathroom floor. Brandon came in and covered me with a blanket. He brought me my cell phone and left a note. It read "Mom if you need anything, call me."
By sunday the worst was over but I was very weak. I couldn't get out of bed without my heart pounding or being out of breath. There was NO WAY I was eating, but did manage to keep some water down. I did, however, read two books.
Monday, I worked but it was a mistake. (Hindsight is a wonderful thing). I barely made it through the day. I ate a few popsicles and drank water. I tried soup but only took three sips before my stomach wanted to revolt.
Tuesday, I am getting energy back. I actually ate crackers, a granola bar and apple sauce.
Has anyone else caught this bug? It's just absolutely ****ing fabulous.
I hadn't been ill like this in years! It was a truly humbling experience...yours is a very accurate description. Nice kids!
ReplyDeletei'm so sorry to hear, tami! glad you're starting to feel better. so sweet of your son to leave you a note...i'm sure your family was worried about you! steve was so sick last week and i was very stuffy, though i think it was more from the pregnancy. his dr put him on hardcore antibiotics.
ReplyDeletewishing you a full recovery and brighter days ahead! xoxoxo

So sorry to hear you've been sick. The stomach flu hit my son's household over the weekend. It's still making the rounds there :( The last one to catch it is sick today.
ReplyDeleteOh you poor thing :( That sounds really really awful!! Lying on the bathroom floor, geez it had to of been bad! Good to hear you are slowly on the mend, sounds like it knocked you around a bit. Hope you are back to normal in no time xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm cringing... my co worker in the next office has had that same thing this week. I cant believe the flu is still going around! That's messed up in itself :( Hope you're 100% soon!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hope the worst of it is over.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. My hubby has had a bug for the past week.
ReplyDeleteI am finally beginning to eat. I hope hubby gets over it soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, I am finally beginning to feel human again.
ReplyDeleteSo far it has been just me. My boys missed the bug. Thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteThis sure has been a horrible winter. At least half of the kids I watch had a version of the flu. The other ones had colds or coughs. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteI said the same thing about not being sick with the flu in years. It came back to bite me!! I try to raise them to be gentlemen. :-) Thanks for stopping by Zoe. Come again!
ReplyDeleteDr. probably wanted to make sure you didn't get sick at the stage of pregnancy you are at. Smart doctor! The flu has begun to subside and now I am stuffy and have a cough. I just can't seem to shake being sick. Bluck!
ReplyDeleteKerry, I need you to jump on a plane and come take care of me! :-D
