It's been a long time...

... since I've been this sick! Whatever I've got has really knocked me out! I'm talking fevers that just keep coming and won't back down. Plus, lots of other real yucky junk going on!

I couldn't get in at my regular doctor's office yesterday so they sent me to urgent care. I found one on my insurance plan and headed over there. They checked me for strep throat and any of you that have had that test know it's not fun. After that came back negative they tested me for the flu. Did you know they have a test for flu these days? I didn't... it wasn't fun either. They pretty much stick a swab up your nose and roll it around... it feels like it touches your throat! I wouldn't recommend it! Well, that came back negative which shocked the doc because he thought for sure I had the flu. Anyway, he sent me home without any real diagnosis but some antibiotics. I started those yesterday and already had my second dose today so hopefully I'll be up and ready for the big Easter Carnival happening at church tomorrow!

I have to say a big thank you to my sister for watching the two younger boys yesterday so I could take the trip to the doc and then enjoy a much needed nap! Also to my good friend Patti for picking up Josh after school and keeping him for four hours. You both are so good to me!!

It's certainly no fun being sick, especially for moms! I just got over the flu a couple weeks ago myself.

You're SO right about that flu test! Aaack! I've had 2 sinus surgeries, so I'm used to having things stuck up my nose, but that was a shocker for me too!

Praying that you get better quickly...

Wow so many seem to have found this bug this year! Our kids did have strep once in December, but Tim and I managed to keep it away. Watch next week we will both be down with it. Hope you are back on your feet. If you need a meal or sitter let me know. Take care.

Oh man, you've had it rough! I sure hope you are on the mend by now. Sounds like something I had over a year ago and no, it's not fun at all. The endless sore throat - ugh. Hang in there Stacey! I would bring you some Chicken Noodle soup if I was there (oh yea, and some brownies w/ ice cream too!). :)
