So apparently my immune system didn't completely heal from our last bout with sickness. I thought we were better, I was going on with the busyness of life, I was still tackling work, motherhood etc. But...sometimes your body can stop you in your tracks. Sometimes it says, "no, stop". Mine said it during the night and I woke up with a fever of 102.5 and a very sore throat. I called in sick again and headed straight to the doctor.
I have strep. A very bad case of strep. I'm very contagious.
My parents (true heroes) took Abby to their house early yesterday morning and have kept her overnight. I just didn't want to take the chance that she might get this too. I slept a lot yesterday, popped my penicillin and my aspirin and stared at the tv. I felt awful that I had to miss work because there were parent teacher conferences scheduled for the evening. Now I'll have to reschedule all those conferences. Oh, well sometimes your body just stays "stop!" I did go into work last night around 8 to get things ready for the sub today. Then it was home again to sleep and sleep and sleep. I'm feeling better this morning. I finally got my fever to go down, but my throat is still hurting. Abby's coming home after her afternoon nap. I can't wait to see her!! I'm just going to let my body relax this afternoon. I can't afford to not get well. I need to heal. There are just too many things going on right now....
