I HATE this week!!!

[NoahsMommy]

I wish it would hurry up and be over....its been one of my most uncomfortable, painful weeks ever!

On Sunday, David and I went to lunch and I couldn't eat after my first bite. I couldn't catch my breath, I felt feverish and exhausted...even after sleeping 12 hours the night before.

We went to see Harry Potter after lunch and I was FREEZING in the theater, I was wearing jeans and a sweater!

When we got home, my temperature was at 102.7. So David went to the store for some juice bars and asperine.

Apparently, I can't take asperine, it makes my stomach BURN!

I had to stop eating/drinking at midnight, because I had my Small Bowel Series the next morning. I sweated so much, I was sooooo thirsty and I couldn't drink a thing. I had originally thought I was just nervous for the test.

I awoke with a 103 temp and couldn't even brush my teeth because I was so nauseous. I took my shower sitting in the tub.

I had to try and do my test, I thought I was just making myself ill because I was afraid to throw up all the barium I had to swallow.

After about a whole tin of Altoids, I got the two bottles of barium down and two hours later was all done! I AM a superstar...it can normally take 4!

We left and I was still feeling horrible. I couldn't eat lunch, I could barely stomach Sprite.

I tried asperine with milk the next night, still burning. I hate sleeping with such a high temperature. Sweating in bed is ick...I hate it!!!!

I tried Niquil and that made me so jumpy, I couldn't lay down!

I went to my doctor yesturday morning and found out I have the flu!!! WONDERFUL!!

Is it get better time yet???

Kelly, I am so sorry you're feeling so sick. I can definately sympathize. I was at the ER twice last week. This week is much beffer for me though so I hope it gets better for you too! Kiss your kitties and let them help David take care of you!

((((((KELLY)))))) You poor baby - there is just no way to get away from the chills and nausea of the flu!!! It just takes time and feels like eternity - and all this on top of yucky medical tests!! Can you take Tylenol or an Antacid with the Aspirin so it does not burn your belly???
Can you climb under a bunch of warm blankets???? Too sweaty??Take tiny sips of some liquid with a straw? Something like flat gingerale? Also the BRAT diet helps usually - Banana- Rice - Applesauce - Toast
more ((((HUGS))))
Altoids burn me - don't they burn you?

[zippy-kat]

Kelly, keeping you in my thoughts until you are well again!

[catlover4ever]

Kelly, I'm sending you some cyber {{{{hugs}}}} to make you feel better. I hope you get over the flu quickly. I will keep you in my thoughts.

Make sure you furgang takes good care of you while you are feeling blue . It always helps me when my furkids come and stay with me when I don't feel good...it seems like I feel better quicker when I have their company. Take care of yourself. --- Meg

[Randi]

Kelly, I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so poorly. The BRAT diet sounds like a good idea!

Sending get well wishes to you! Take care!

[Karen]

Poor poor poor you!

It's no fun being sick - not at all! I've only had the flu once in my whole life - and I apparently caught it LEAVING the hospital from my brain surgery (acoustic neuroma). I just thought I was still adjusting from that trauma physiologically, but when I went back to get mys stitches out, I was shivering, sweating and miserable in the hallway outside the doc's office. The resident who removed my stitches (not very gently or gracefullymm btw., said, "Oh, you've just got the flu, that's all," when I explained my misery. Well, maybe to her it was "JUST the flu," but I sure didn't like it. You have my sympathy.

[Felicia's Mom]

Sorry you are sick Kelly. Get well soon!

[DJFyrewolf36]

the flu is NEVER ever fun...I caught it at the same time I had brohnchitis (sp?) and puked every time I had a caughing fit *groan*

I wish you to feel better for the weekend!!! Get well soon!!!! Have the furkids around, they'll make you feel beter!

{{{Kelly}}},

So sorry that you are feeling so poorly. Saying prayers for your quick recovery. Hang in there. It's a nasty bug going around this time.

[Pam]

(((((HUGS))))) to you Kelly. I hate hearing that you are sick. Please hurry and get well. Shame on you, nasty old flu bug, for making our Kelly sick.

... said,
"Oh, you've JUST got the flu, that's all!"

Grrrrrr!

Ever notice how *easy* is for someone who DOESN'T
have The Flu to say that!?

Next worse is "It's JUST a cold!"

{{{HUGS}}}, Kelly!
