Yay I'm better!

I'm back to the land of the living. Whew, that was bad. ANYway.......

Nothing else new to report, I'm just busier than ever but its really good. Getting back to the gym Thursday, I think my lungs will be clear enough by then. Thats all I got for now. Lets just say....TGFB!!!!! (thank goodness for Blackberries!!!)

update

So the latest is they think I have pneumonia, but now I've been on the antibiotics for 4 days, so whatever they find out who cares because I'm half healed now anyway. I almost went to the ER with a headache Friday night, but after I got up and walked around it was just a tiny bit better (it had stayed bad even after 5 Celebrex and lots of other pain meds so the DR was worried) and after a while I was able to sleep. Being so sleep deprived was not the best way to handle the coughing, sore throat and headache, it was not one of my better moments. Now I'm down to just coughing and no voice. And tiredness. I guess I will survive it after all, unless they find something else. I think I had strep too, but I never got the results of that back. I'm taking tomorrow off from all activities and then monday looks like I'll be back on function mode again.

Mark is taking an extra day off this week for his birthday (he gets a paid vaca day for it each year) and I think he's angling to go to Vegas with his friends overnight. He is offering me a 2 day trip to Thatcher to hang with my mom/sister BY MYSELF and you betcha I'm going for it. Oooooh, I can read, sleep, chat, make awesome cards, go to see Hairspray in the middle of the day........H E A V E N!!!!!I am all over it. I hope it works out.

better.......

I had a HORRIBLE nights sleep last night, the worst I can ever remember. the stupid anibiotics give me a metal taste in my mouth and pair that with a sore throat and I was waking up every hour trying to coat my throat with something. It was so funny, I had gotten a big ol symphony bar in a "wah wah poor me" moment at the pharmacy and I kept it by my bed so that when I woke up with this nasty metal taste I could erase it for long enough to get back to sleep for a few minutes. It was misery. Now I'm living on cough drops that take the taste away a little and make my throat feel better. I don't know If I can do 10 days of this disgusting taste. Still no word on what I actually have. I managed to medicate enough to get a bunch of work done today, everything is all sanitized, enough clothes are clean to get me throught he next couple days, and I am ready for a little nap before I have to care for 7 children from after school till 7 tonight. uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!Chicken soup (I made last night) and a nap is whats goin down right now.

P.S. 7 kids are really hard to manage after school. Especially the ones that aren't your own. 3.5 hours and counting. It is worth it though.

S.O.S.!!!!!

Not good. I'm sinking quick. I'm so sick. The coughing alone is about to kill me, and that is fully dosed on robitussin. Some insurance card info delayerd my getting the antibiotics till this afternoon, and I'm not feeling any better yet. The house is a pigpen, I desparately need laundry done.......AHHHHHHHHHH! I swore that I would stay up and do some tonight, at least the kitchen and bathrooms (nothing worse than being sick when you have dirty bathrooms)but my throat is killing me, and my extremities are throbbing. I took some cough syrup and I about passed out from the throat pain as it went down. I have GOT to spend most of tomorrow lying down, unless the antibiotics kick in and I feel better after a good night sleep. I'm serious, I have not been this miserable in YEARS, especially not for this long at a time, this is torture! I hope they call me tomorrow and I get some answers and a time frame for recovery, this is the pits! I went for the chest x-ray this morning, I almost bagged it but now I'm glad I went, just to rule stuff out.

I wish I had something else good to write about, but this butt-kicking is all I have going right now. I'm just trying to stay awake long enough to make sure the kids get to sleep, then its lights out.
