Recovery

Well, I am finally feeling better after my battle with the H1N1 virus! I actually got out for a couple of hrs yesterday afternoon. I am still very weak, though and I have a nasty cough. I think that the trick was getting that Tamaflu in me so early! The dr said that getting it in the first 48 hrs is the best time. Carl and Faith did NOT get it, thank the Lord! So we know that the medicine works at preventing it! We found out my sister is the one who gave it to me, her kids tested positive for it, too, but too late for meds. I have all the windows in the house open, this morning, trying to get the virus out of the house. I have been lysoling everything! Now if I could just get my strength back, I would feel nearly 100%! I better be by tomorrow b/c Carl has to go back to work and my week is going to be busy! My mommy is coming to visit at the end of the week, and we haven't seen her in months! SO I have to get the house ready and keep all of Faith's appt's too. Please keep me in your prayers as I continue to heal.

H1N1.......

I know that by posting this I may become a social pariah because everyone is freaking out about this......

On Mon. I started feeling like I was getting a sore throat. I felt a little weak and by Tues. morning, I knew I was sick. I had a raging fever and could barely get off the couch. So Carl stayed home w/ us yesterday b/c I was so sick I couldn't take care of Faith. He finally convinced me to go to the doctor. They recommended I be tested for the H1N1 virus b/c there was an outbreak in our area. So they stuck this HUGE swab up my nose about 5 inches and did a rapid test and sure enough I have it! I couldn't believe it! They put the whole house on Tamaflu as a preventative. I think Carl might be showing symptoms this morning, though. Faith seems to be fine, I just pray that she doesn't get it b/c it could be really bad for her. The whole house is quarantined until everyone who is sick has had no fever for 24 hrs w/o meds to bring it down.
