It's Saturday? Really?
It's been an interesting week. Started off great, had a great weekend visiting with good friends, relaxing and playing Settlers and other good fun. Monday started off good, it was my week to work downtown in the office. Went down to Timmy's to get a coffee around 9:30 ... 30 folks in front of me all waiting for the Timmy goodness. Behind me.... Typhoid Mark... cough, hack, sniffle, cough ... cough... cough... I'm cringing with each cough ... I should of walked away and come back later but I wanted a Timmy's coffee... 15 minutes later I return to my desk with my coffee in hand. The next night I'm feeling a bit off, restless, headachy... chinook coming in. Wednesday morning wake up feeling worse... headache is pounding, joints ache, throat a bit raw.... chinook and house is dry. By 11AM I'm calling CK... please come pick me up. I feel awful. Get home and CK tucks me in and I crash for hours, wake up feeling lightheaded, sore throat, aches and pains... joy... Typhoid Mark passed it on... flu bug got me good. Wednesday night I"m in tears I hurt so bad, my joints are on fire, my skin has gone beyond hyper sensitive, my head is pounding and my throat is on fire. Thursday it just gets worse and worse... by Friday I can't even swallow.. haven't eaten for 3 days cause food won't go past my sore throat. I phone my doc in desparation.. I've had this before but over 20 years ago and had my tonsils out as a result. Doc takes a look at my throat... yep.. steap throat. Severe streap throat no less... joy. My wonderful CK has been the best, caring for me as I am so weak I can barely go up and down stairs. Doc has me on penicilan and tylenol 3's. Feeling a bit better today now that I am on meds but I'm upset that I'm going to miss NonTrad tonight. I'm contagious and can't even kiss my husband. Wish I could be there and hope everyone has a really great time :) Give CK lots of hugs and stuff since I can't :)
