Yes that's right Swine flu.
I believe I got a taste of Karma this week. haha. After teasing one of my teens for having a sore throat. Now you may think, "wow, Nichelle real mature!" but if you knew the kid you would too. He didn't take it personal, we tease each other all the time.
Anyways, that night I came hope and I had a tickle in the back of my throat, so I took some meds hoping it would go away. Tuesday came around and it was a rough day. I went to work only for 3 hrs, my voice was horrible! Chills all day, and on top of that the body aches were the worst! I had never felt so weak before in my life, I'm surprised that I was even able to drive to work! The only reason I went is because I had a deadline to make at work. Luckily my teens took pity on me and tended to my every need. We had soup and grilled cheese that night for our cooking class, at my request, and a couple of them had a rock, paper, scissors contest on who would make this meal for me! haha. it was cute.
Sleep was horrible Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday I was hit with the worst of it. I literally crawled out of bed and down the stairs. I couldn't breath and my body temperature changed drastically every hour. My parents finally told me to go to the doctor. Thank goodness I have health insurance again or else I would have been at IHS waiting for 8hrs. When I got to the doctor, and they tested me for step and the flu, it didn't take the expected 12 min for the results to come back. NOPE it took only 1 min. the doctor came back in quickly and said "You have influenza A"
The look on his face was, you better put yourself in a plastic bubble for the rest of the week, because this is serious. and once I left the office I already saw the nurses scrubbing down everything. YIKES!
Back at home, my mom was already cleaning everything. I quarantined myself to the couch, it's been a rough week.
Today I woke up and actually felt like I got a decent amount of sleep. On top of that the body aches are gone. but my throat is still out of commission. I finally had some contact with my family today, haha. I was able to hang out with my siblings for once. Of course they tried to make me laugh at every chance they got only because I coughed up an organ every time I did! hahaha.
But I will say that because I've been sick, I have been hydrated all week! plus I've lost like 5lbs. Chicken noodle soup, sprite, and cheese crisps have been the secret to this madness. haha. The DVR has been put to good use as well, I've recorded a lot of movies. My family should thank me for that! haha.
Well, lets hope this passes ASAP. I miss work and my life. There is only so much of home I can take! haha.
