Being Sick Sucks!

[missalynn]

After 4 weeks of feeling like crap, I really hope it's all over with!! It all started 4 Saturday's ago, during SEX of all freakin things! Somehow my IUD got bumped, and I was in horrible pain for 2 weeks, when I finally decided to have the stupid thing taken out(after only 1 yr). I'm currently BACK on the stupid PILL, while I await my consultation with the Dr. to have my tubes tied. Becoming pregnant again is such a big fear to me, so this way it will be over, no more stress. I have my two wonderful boys, what more could I ask for! So that's all over with. The pill has me feeling blah, but I'm adjusting.

So then, a week ago I started feeling nauseated, lethargic, just blah. Stressing over money and bills and needing a break hasn't helped much either. Well yesterday it all came crashing down on me, and I literally thought I was gonna DIE! I had it all! The vomiting, bubble guts, fever, chills...UGH! I felt so bad I couldn't even hold my head up! THANK GOD for my Mother in law, who came over and shoved pills and chicken broth down me, and put me in bed while she tended to the kids.

Well today, after 12 hrs of sleep and 24 hrs. of fluids I feel much better, and I hope it's here to stay. My New Year's resolution is to cut back on my smoking(according to the Pagan calendar Halloween marks the end of the year) so today I quit smoking in the house. I washed and packed away all the ashtrays. Sitting right here in this chair with the mouse in one hand and a ciggarette in the other is my worst habit, so I'm taking baby steps, but I really think it will help. Instead of thinking about needing that smoke right now, I'm going to do a small excersice, a warm up or yoga position. Just baby steps...
