Day 3

So I woke up on Friday with a sore throat and thought, well, atleast it's only a sore throat. Then when I went to bed on Friday I was thinking atleast it hasn't gotten any worse. Then, Saturday arrived. The sore throat turned to chills, then to sweats, then to a stuffy head, then to a runny nose and I finally had to succumb to bed. Why is it I spend 4 months working on something very important and the day arrives I fall ill with this stupid H1N1 virus?

I think it is someone trying to tell me something. I wrote in my last blog to keep your hands washed and all would be well....I WAS WRONG! Come Sunday morning I was being assessed for the H1N1 Virus, being treated with an IV and Antibiotics. I'm not worried about being sick but what is this doing to the baby inside of me?

I am having a hard time eating and am getting really tired of Freezies and apple juice but lo and behold my neighbour comes to the rescue. While wallowing in self pity this evening staring at the wall from my post in bed, the neighbour brought me homemade chicken noodle soup and bread. What a life saver! It was hot and yummy and just what the doctor ordered. Thank you Melanie!

As I am coming into day 3 with this illness I am hoping the worst is over and I am on the mend. One thing I learned along the way though is this: The Doctor recommended the vaccine for me and I reluctantly got it, turns out had I chosen not to, I would be much worse off and so would my baby. I am very grateful that the vaccine was available when it was.
