fate was not kind to me. i got the flu anyway.
wednesday night i started puking and by the middle of the night it was running out the other end. hubby also got sick and was a few hours behind me.
bless mom and dad, they took the boy on thursday so hubby and i could recoup. poor hubby even took a sick day, and he NEVER takes sick days. we spent the whole day tag teaming to the toilet and staring at each other in misery.
i was really scared to be sick. since i couldn't keep anything in me i was afraid of getting dehydrated. i was so afraid that being sick would make me lose the babies. i called my doctor and they assured me that i'd be okay, just sip fluids and do the BRAT diet. thank goodness for apple sauce, jello and orange sherbet. never in my life did anything taste as good as a few spoonfuls of apple sauce.
i was also worried about my fever. yesterday it got up to 101. not good. i drank more water and took a bath to get the fever down.
this flu had such horrible aches. my legs and feet ached so much that when hubby tried to rub them i almost screamed. i have no idear what it's like to have a serious illness like cancer but i likened the pain to that, only i imagine it's about 100 times worse. i don't know how people can tolerate pain that bad. after a day of pain i wanted to cry.
i feel better today altho a little wiped out. i ran to the store for some groceries. my stomach is eating itself which means it must be getting back to normal.
i got soup since i don't have my own homemade chicken soup. it is so much cheaper (not to mention healthier) to make your own soup. my bill was astronomical and i didn't even buy half of what i usually get.
tuesday is my 8 week checkup. praying that the flu didn't hurt yin and yang.
