Back from the beach with the crud!
Posted by Melinda | Filed under Life
Yeah - so all this time I’ve dodged the bullet, my super spidy senses and lightning fast reflexes weren’t enough.
We had a great time at the beach, but day by day I felt the yuck coming on. A miserable cough that kept me from sleeping well most nights, despite that it was nice and warm in the trailer. By Sunday, I was just ready to go home. And it was 5 hours of driving!!! I had to stop and take a nap at a rest stop.
When I got home I pulled right into the drive, unloaded two horses and nothing else. Everything else could wait. I crawled straight into bed. Spiked a fever of 101 and stayed curled up in my bed.
Malcolm and my mom (who is the BEST by the way for helping with the trip and taking care of all of the critters while I was gone) went out and got me some Theraflu, made me some soup, took my temp and took care of dinner.
Top it off - Monday morning in addition to my feeling like ick - Taira woke up crying with her ear hurting. So as mom headed back to Angier, Taira and I headed off for Dr. Appointments. Ear infection for Taira complete with ear drops and Bronchitis for me complete with an inhaler, Avelox and some super thick miracle cough syrup.
I’m STILL recovering - but back at work today. But so much for dodging the bullet. At least I’ve dodged H1N1 for now.
