Feeling Alive Again....

What a week! On Saturday, I came down with a bad case of the real, respiratory flu! Wow. I have never experienced anything quite like it- the fever, chills, aches, congestion, etc. One miserable mama. Well, when Wednesday rolled around and I was still not functioning, "husband" decided it was time to take matters into his own hands...I ended up at the doctor's office. Five prescriptions later (and a hunk of money!) I sacked out on the bed for several hours. When I woke up, I felt absolutely euphoric because for the first time in 5 days, I was't hurting! Ah, the wonders of medicine. Note to self...take care of self. (I was the only one who didn't get the flu shot and also could have saved myself a lot of grief if I had gone to the dr. immediately to get on the Tama-flu medicine which can prevent a full blown case of the flu.) Let the recovery begin!

Sorry you haven't been feeling well. I laughed when you said you were the only one who didn't get a flu shot. Can I second that for my house? Izzy and Jake both did, I never got around to it. Maybe we will learn.

Oh no fun! Sounds like something I would do. It drives Tyler crazy that I don't take better care of myself when it comes to taking medicine. I hope you are feeling better!
