On lock down...

What a week!! Last week I was out all week from work dealing with a 102 fever for 5 days, having an allergic reaction to my antibiotics, and my body deciding for a day that it would not hold any food in. I've been feeling a lot better, but still have congestion in my chest and head. And now, this past weekend Luke started to get a fever and congestion and went to the dr. yesterday and was diagnosed with the flu. Oh boy! Round two, ding ding ding. So the dr. has him and me both on flu medication (along with the medication I am already taking) since he is contagious. He now has to stay home for the 2nd week in a row. He was such a sweet husband and stayed home with me 3 of the 5 days last week since I was pretty much useless! So please say a prayer for both of us that we can get back to feeling 100% healthy and normal since we are going on 3 weeks now of continual sickness from one bug or another. Since Luke is on "lockdown", we are going to have a nice, noncontact, relaxing night tonight!! It's hard on V-day to not be able to kiss the one you love, having to wash your hands every time you touch him, and have to sleep for the third night in a row on the couch!!! So, I hope you all have a V-day full of hugs and kisses with your spouse!!!! Until next time...

Spoke too soon!

Well, the bugs are attracted to me. I woke up on Saturday to a sore throat, cough, and fever. Happy Birthday to me! So my birthday was spent laying down as much as possible, heading to Yukon to have lunch with my family, and then going over to their house afterwards to sleep. So our fun birthday bowling plans got put on hold. It is now day 3 of fever over 100, with a VERY sore throat, horrible cough, and now congestion. I went to the dr. today and he thought it was the flu, but the test came out negative. He is confused on what I do have since both sets of glands for viral and bacterial were really swollen. So now I am on antibiotics and have to stay home until I can kick this fever to go back to work. Lucky me! I miss everyone, since it seems like FOREVER since I have spent real quality time with my friends due to being out of town for two weeks and now sickness. Again, thanks Elizabeth for the yummy supper you made us on Friday...sorry we had to eat and run! Love to all. Until next time....
