That's right, this was the worst weekend ever!!! Let me break it down for you...
Friday night: stayed at home and watched dumb chick flicks with David. He made me dinner and i wasn't too sick yet.
Saturday AKA Valentines day: Didn't do anything we planned to do. The cold i thought i was getting was actually the flu. So i took gross Theraflu and stayed at home trying to keep my fever down and dealing with the aches and pains and shakes that come with the flu. We had frozen pizza for dinner, it was good.
Sunday AKA the bottom: I got up and got ready for church but then i started feeling really gross right before so i stayed home. I took some more theraflu and drank 7-up and ate some saltine crackers. Then after David got back that's when things started going downhill fast. I lost everything i ate/drank that morning and from that point on couldn't keep anything down, not even water. Horrible!!! Along with that my fever just kept rising. The highest it got was 103.3, pretty high. I couldn't take any meds because i couldn't keep it down so i try to get my fever down with wet wash cloths and a cool shower. Didn't work. So eventually we decided to go into the ER so that i could get an IV and get my fever down. I didn't think it was anything other than the flu so i kind of felt like a pansy going to the ER but it turned out to be a good thing. After waiting 2 hours to see the doctor i went back and got an IV started and got some anti-nausea meds and Tylenol and Advil. I also had an x-ray of my lungs taken to make sure there wasn't anything else wrong. Turns out there is something wrong. I have pneumonia! At least i wasn't a pansy for going into the ER! The IV helped a lot and i got hooked up with a bunch of drugs, an anti-nausea, Tylenol 3, and the antibiotic for the pneumonia. We got home around midnight and went to bed.
Today: it's been good. I've been taking my meds and two of them make me tired so I've been sleeping all day. It has been wonderful! I feel a million times better than i did yesterday! My fever is completely gone. I'm actually at 96 something now. The pressure in my head is gone and i can keep food down again! Modern medicine is amazing!!! 100 years ago i would have died from this but I'm fine now! Spectacular!!!
Tomorrow: I'm staying home from work and resting some more. I'll probably sleep most of the day because of the meds again. Hopefully I'll be good enough to head back to work on Wednesday but we'll see. If not i have the sick time.
PS Even though this weekend sucked so much David was great! He took care of me the whole time and watched dumb chick flicks! So romantic!
PPS I don't understand bulimia! How could anyone want to throw up even if there is a motive for it. totally not worth it! It's so painful and then you get a sore throat afterward because of all the acid not cool! I never want to throw up again ever!!! If i get sick when I'm pregnant I'm not risking it again. We'll adopt after that. haha! We'll see.

At least you now know it's true love. They say you should take care of your significant other while they have the flu before you decide to spend a lifetime together. Now I guess it's your turn!!!!!
Glad you're feeling better! Morning sickness is comparatively better than other things you can get while pregnant... and my friends that were really sick the first time had no problem the second time around.
You are missing work! I hate you! But really I don't. You know that.
I had to comment because the word verification was "beletede" You don't get more awesome than that. Unless you take off the last e...
Are you sure you're not 85 years old? First the hip, now pneumonia?? I'm glad you're feeling better. Isn't it great having someone to take care of you? :)
