Sick Sick Sick

Well the past week has been quite the adventure to say the least. It started out innocently enough on Friday, the 5th of January, Dave and I had the day off so we decided to take down the Xmas decorations. It went well it was all down by about 2pm, and most of it was put up in the attic. At 4 we decided to go out to return the last of the Xmas presents, during the first stop my back started hurting, I figured I pulled a muscle in my back lifting the heavy decorations into the attic. So onward we went, I then started getting the chills, it was only around 50 out and I only had a sweater on so I thought - just underdressed, should have worn a coat. On the way home stopped for fried chicken for dinner, just not up to cooking. I had no appetite, didn't even finish 1 piece of chicken. I must be getting that flu that everyone seems to be getting. So the weekend begins, fevers, chills, vomit, repeat. My fever got to 103 on Saturday, 103.5 on Sunday, so Monday morning when it was already 102.5, I figured I better go to the doctor. I hadn't drank or eaten much at all over the weekend. I got to the doctor around 3pm, they finally fit me in. They gave me a antibiotic pill, and a shot for nausesousness. Then they sent me off on a 3 night 4 day stay at Club Le Hospital!. I was dehydrated and felt like my insides wanted to leave my body. I spent the time getting IV fluids, and tests galore. My favorite part was the vampires coming at 5:30 am to draw blood. So after 3 ultrasounds, and 1 CAT scan, the diagnosis - Kidney Infection - aarrgh!! OMG I have NEVER felt sicker in my life. So they sent me home with a very strong antibiotic, and told to drink tons of water. I've been home since 11 pm Thursday night, I have gotten a couple of good nights of sleep, and am finally starting to get my energy back. I still think it will be awhile before I am full strength, but I feel 1000 times better than I did at this time last week. I wouldn't even wish that on my enemies (if I had some - LOL). Well I'm sure that more info then you wanted to know, but if you can learn anything from this don't wait too long to go to the doctor when your sick! I know I won't ever again.!
