Missing Again

I woke up yesterday feeling sick to my stomach. I went to the bathroom and had some massive diarrhea. I took some Imodium AD and went about my day. I picked up H from school at 11:15. I made the girls some lunch at noon and by 12:30 I was BURNING up!! I took my temperature and it was 103.8. What the?! Then the chills started. I was freezing--and for any of you that know me you know that I am NEVER cold.




Then the body aches and the massive headache set in. I laid on the couch all wrapped up in a blanket and unable to move. The girls had to just sit in the living room and watch TV where I could see/hear them.



I realized that Z would need to be picked up from school soon so I called my friend Tina and she brought him home. It came time for dinner and I still couldn't move so my sweet, helpful son got the girls and himself something to eat. I don't know what I would have done without him.

The fever broke around 6:00 p.m. but the body aches and the headache stuck around. I fell asleep on the couch around 9:00 p.m. My husband helped me get to bed around 11:00. Then at 1:00 a.m. the fever and chills returned and lasted for about 3 hours. I was miserable!! I woke up this morning feeling fine but yesterday was HORRIBLE!! I hope none of the kids or my husband gets it!!

So if you posted yesterday and I was absent from the comments--so sorry but now you know why!!

Hopefully it's a 24 hour thing and not influenza....though it sounds a lot like influenza.

Erin said...

Yuck! I am glad you are feeling better now. Being sick and being a mom at the same time is SO HARD!

Whitney R said...

I'm sorry your sick! I'm assuming your feeling better?

It's funny to me that you mentioned you had diarrhea b/c when I was on BC it made me ill all the time. And that happened to me like twice a week. Horribly stomach cramps - the works. I've always wanted to post about it... but never had the guts. Kudos, my friend... kudos :)
