How do I describe finally being up and around after a few hairy sick days and finding SO many messages wishing me well. I've said it before, I'll no doubt say it again, but I really love the way we all support each other no matter what our problem of the day or week is. I adore each and every one of you girls. I'm almost one hundred percent better as of this morning. Not that I thought I was going to be last night. I crashed on Tuesday and woke Wednesday feeling a little better, so what did I do? Go like the clappers for the next two days and went down in a heap again last night. (What I thought was a head cold turned out to be a really nasty flu BUT NOT the pig flu like I was a little worried about. Thanks Dawn for your helpful tips - I had no idea what the symtoms were but now I do.. and it wasn't that.. whew lol) I don't remember feeling so awful for the longest time and I've sniffled and ached and shivered my way through a few days of hell. This morning I woke feeling more like my old self. So much for being the healthiest I've been mentally and physically for the longest time. Pooh to that!
I thought I might have lost some weight over the past few days (official weigh in today) and blahh.. just the usual few hundred grams. I rang this morning and spoke to Dr Couch's office to get in earlier for my 3rd fill. That's now happening next Wednesday. I remember when he sent me away after my last fill saying, come see me in a month and I went.. WTF! That's like.. forever away!! And it has been a long few weeks. I am going to ask for two mls (or cc's as they say in the US lol) to be put in. Not sure about my luck in that department, but I really want some restriction happening here. It's driving me nutso.
Not much else to report. Mostly wanted to check in and say hello. A big BIG congrats to Brooke (who was banded um.. whats the time difference?) well, anyway, she's now banded (and doing amazingly.. I couldn't believe she had posted already) and to Jen who is going in tomorrow! Super good luck, Jen. Not that you will need it. You'll kick butt.
I'm outta here. Got mega-amounts of washing and stuff to catch up on. No rest for the wicked.

Hi! I know what you mean about a month being FOREVER! lol, I'm ready to go in now and it's been 2 weeks :) Thanks for all the comments, by the way :) I know I said thanks to everyone, but you're so great about commenting all the time, I really look forward to it :)
ReplyDeleteCara,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are feeling better. Only just caught up on all my blogs! this flu thing is going around and I have only really recovered from my flu that I got when I was at home!
glad you're feeling well... not meaning to scare, but piggy flu is not as bad as normal flu...36000 die each year from normal flu (in the US) and around 0.45% (of the WORLD population) from swine flu... like I said the bloody media have a lot to answer to.
ReplyDeletetake care - you still need to rest properly, even if you feel better your system is still trying to get rid of the germ and your body needs time to recover.
:o)
