Under the weather....

I have no pictures for this post (and trust me, you wouldn't want to see any anyways!)...maybe this will explain why I have not been blogging! To be honest, I just haven't been in the mood, a lot going on.

So Noah had his turn at being sick, now it was my turn. All three of us have had a nagging cough that has just hung around & been a pain! A few days ago I woke up & holy cow!! I felt good! Yay, it had finally ended! I mean I really felt good. So I went about my day, grateful.

So Thursday night (March 11th) I feel a little tired, more than normal. I go to bed, wake up Friday & have a full blown sore throat. WHAT???? I just felt great! I seriously laid around all day. Saturday...getting worse. Thank goodness it was the weekend so Scott was home. I had a fever & was just tired & my throat really hurt. Sunday....WAY worse.

Monday morning I told myself, "I am going straight to the doctors office after I drop Noah off at school....they WILL see me". I walked in & whispered (because my throat was so swollen I could barely talk). I told her I needed to be seen & I did not have an appointment. She said, "Let me check if she will see you". As she walked away I wanted to yell...."SHE WILL SEE ME OR I WILL BE STANDING HERE CRYING!!!!!" She did agree to see me & still I wanted to cry!

When the doctor looked in my mouth, she said, "Oh dear!"...that's what you always want to hear. So I have strep and my tonsils were so severely swollen that she wanted to give me strong antibiotics right then & there. oh that will be fun...bring it on!

So after a shot in the rear (why, oh why, in the rear!?!), having blood drawn (something about oxygen levels) and then 2 prescriptions for more antibiotics & steroids, for my tonsils & my wheezing lungs...I was a mess! I went home & prayed that I would get better soon!

It's late Wednesday night (march 17th) and guess what??!! I actually ate dinner tonight! LIKE real food!!! LIKE solid food, it wasn't yogurt or pudding. I didn't even have tears in my eyes this time. AND, I slept all night last night!!!

HALLELUJAH!!!

The Silver Lining: I lost 11 pounds!!

I guess when you haven't eaten since Friday morning that can happen!
