Is this what death feel like??
I have been lucky enough to not had any "morning" sickness with either pregnancy so far. I had all week off from work and then worked yesterday (Fri.) and the rest of the weekend...or was supposed to. Yesterday at work I almost passed out in the morning, not entirely sure what that was all about, I was helping with a circ - have done millions of times, and had to sit down. But overall felt fine. Attributed it to not have eaten anything yet that morning so had some juice and a bagel. Rest of the day mostly uneventful. Peds was busier than OB and was getting some admissions, so I had to go admit a peds pt. coming with nausea and vomiting. One of the many reasons I love OB...no sickness!!!! While I gowned and gloved and washed repeatedly, I couldn't help but worry I would catch something (luckily the kid wasn't that sick tho). At suppertime I wasn't feeling the greatest, not too hungry, slightly nauseous. But thought maybe I had to eat again. Ate most of my supper and felt worse, much worse. Luckily by that time it was after 6, so I had less than an hour of work to go. I has really hoping it was just pregnancy related or maybe something I ate. I really didn't want to have to call in sick today, I need to be saving all my PTO for maternity leave now! Well, much to my dismay, I had an AWFUL night. And I couldn't blame it on the kids!! Hopefully all my gloving and gowning and handwashing protected the kids I was taking care of!! The flu sucks. The thought of food makes my stomach turn. I thought for sure by morning I would feel better, no such luck. Finally by afternoon I have been able to get some jello and 7-UP down (and it has stayed that way). I don't remember the last time I had the flu. Jesse and Allison got it last year, but I managed to escape then. I really hope Allison and Jesse don't get it this time. Now that I am feeling slightly better I am going to wash bedding, and wipe everything down - including this computer! Jesse and Allison are luckily gone for the weekend. Jesse went hunting up north and so since I was supposed to have been at work all weekend, Allison went to Grandma Nancy's and she took her to Waterpark of America today! I did alert Nancy and Jesse to my symptoms, but so far, so good for them! I can't decide if I am happy to have the house to myself while I am sick, or if I would be happier with Jesse or my mom here! I had to run to the grocery store myself this morning to get Jello, gatorade and 7-UP. And a back rub or foot rub would be wonderful! But on the other hand, I don't look (or smell...sorry!!) the greatest right now! Off to take a bath soon too. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I better be more presentable. Saying some prayers Allison and Jesse don't get it!! It really felt like I was dying from the inside out!
