The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly!!

I'm going to do this a little backwards, with the good last :) Save the best for last right? :)

The Bad:
Last Saturday night I started to feel pain in my chest and just generally yucky! The next morning when I woke up my illness was in FULL SWING and didn't stop for A WEEK!!!! Nothing ever takes me out for that long, but this was awful!

Early Monday morning (5:30am) I woke up and couldn't breathe (very scary!), so later Rusty took me into the doctor and he diagnosed me with strep throat and gave me two shots in my butt!! Not fun! So, now my body, ached, I had a fever, my chest and throat felt on fire, and my butt was sore! Oh joy :)

Tuesday I felt a little better, but then I woke up Wednesday morning and felt like the bus that had run over me, backed up and did it again. So, I went back into the doctor and they decided it wasn't the flu or even a virus at all. It was a "bacterial infection" whatever that means. All I know is it meant ANOTHER shot in the hind end and a serious round of antibiotics that tore up my stomach.

The Ugly:
Despite the lovely side effects of the medicine I was feeling better starting Friday. Unfortunately, on Saturday (the one week anniversary of getting sick) my tongue, tonsils, and glands in my throat, started to swell and I couldn't taste a thing!! Plus, swallowing is not the funnest. So, this all sounded pretty strange to me so I called the doc and it turns out I was having an allergic reaction to the medication, so now I'm on a new antibiotic and hopefully this is the end of my long, tiring, sick spell :)

The Good:

On the bright side of all this being sick, it has caused me to loose about 5lbs. Hey, I'm happy about that :) Another good thing that came of all this was that Rusty brought me the most BEAUTIFUL flowers!! How sweet is that?! Also, all the teachers at the school I work at pitched in and sent me flowers! I have good neighbors :)
