Hey there everyone. So this week I've been feeling under the weather (different from what I was going through last week). When I'm sick I just keep working on right through it, not really stopping to take care of myself. Well, Wednesday I was feeling pretty cruddy. I had a temperature of 101.7. Kevin wanted to take me to Urgent Care but they were closed. He then wanted to take me to the ER, but I didn't think I was sick enough to warrant a visit there. So I tried to make an appointment with my doctor for Thursday, but they weren't open after work. Thursday morning I was still feeling pretty lousy. Thursday afternoon I was finally feeling a little better. Well when I got home from work I started feeling horrible again. I was sooo cold that I had two pairs of pajama bottoms, a long-sleeve shirt, a sweater, and a sweatshirt on, plus I was wrapped up in our down comforter with another comforter on top...and I was still cold. So when Kevin got home I took my temperature. It was 102.7. He had me take it again a couple of minutes later and it rose to 102.9, so he said we had to go to the ER. So when I finally saw a doctor he told me to take Tylenol and Motrin to bring the fever down, and he gave me a prescription for an antibiotic (my favorite thing in the world by the way....lol). While I was waiting to be discharged the nurse brought me in some Tylenol. Wow!!! Was I impressed!! It worked like a charm right away. Right away I could feel my fever lower. I took off my sweatshirt...and I was sweating!!!!!! So it turns out that I have an upper respiratory infection and acute bronchitis...fun I know!!! But next time I have a fever I am going to take Tylenol right away!!!! It worked like a charm!!!!
But unfortunately I had to stay home from work today... :( Which I hate because I really need to be at work, but Kevin said I had to stay home. So hopefully I will get over this quickly. Yuck!!!! I hate being sick!!
