Feeling yucky

My day started out great, getting things done and crossed off my list. Then around 10 AM I was hit with a wave of nausea and I broke into a sweat.

I assumed I was experiencing side effects from a new pain med my doctor just prescribed. Dick had off work today, so he drove me to pick up Austin from daycare and became nanny for the afternoon. I fully expected my misery to go away soon, but that has not been the case. I have spent the entire afternoon and evening dozing, my head hurts, and I'm still nauseous. I just drank some tea and ate a few crackers, the first thing I've had all day (with the exception of a little bit of water.)

Thankfully I do not have diahrrea or vomiting. It is so extremely rare that I ever get sick. I can't even remember the last time I threw up - probably when I was pregnant thirty years ago!!

I just hope and pray I did not take germs to Anthony and Lori's house or make Austin sick by being around him today. I truly thought I was just having side effects and decided right away that I would not take any more of the new medication.

We have a big weekend planned, so I'm hoping and praying I feel much better in the morning.

I think that stuff is going around. I had the same thing but not to that degree. My head felt strange and I was so weak. I wanted to keep eating to build up my strength. I just needed strength! So after eating six omelets (just Kidding), I realized that I was sick with something.

Hope you are a lot better tomorrow.

Praise God, it's 11 PM and I'm feeling better than I have since this morning. Maybe I just needed some crackers and tea, hahaha!
