I went to the doctor today (decided it was time to stop relying on Google for my medical advice) and it turns out that it probably is just the flu. Which means there's nothing they can do about it....dang it. I was hoping I'd get some magical pill that would just make this all go away! :-P She did say that if it goes on for 2-3 more days, I might have salmonella poisoning. Umm, yuck! Just the word "salmonella" makes me completely sick to my stomach...again.
I've finally decided it's time to rest up and make myself get better. I'm going to try to sleep this afternoon (since I was awake all night last night). And the only things I'm allowing myself to eat and drink are pictured below...welcome to the BRAT diet: (Bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Plus sports drinks, WATER, and a little ginger-ale or Coke. And lots of TUMS).
I don't get sick very often other than little colds here and there. So I kind of don't know what to do with myself! But I'm determined to be well enough to go back to work tomorrow.The one thing I'm really bummed about is that I made my cookies on Saturday and had planned to pass them out to people. I guess I was in denial of my sickness then, too. I don't want to risk getting someone else sick if any of my germs are on those cookies! The sad thing is, I can't eat them either right now or they will probably kill me (okay, I'm exaggerating). So I guess they will have to just sit in my fall cookie/candy jar and look pretty :-)
Well have a super Monday! Here's to hoping this is the only time I'll be sick this school year (wishful thinking!!)
I hope you feel better soon! Rest and "enjoy," the food that you can eat!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are doing all the right things to get better! Hope you get some rest today, and can be back to work tomorrow! Will be praying for you-- Hope you feel better soon! :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some rest! Glad that you went to the doctor at least and got some answers. I hope it's just a flu, too, and nothing more. I will pray for you :-) Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh no, Jessica! I hope you feel better sooooooooon! And I hope this is the only time you are sick. Make sure you tell those kids to wash their hands and cough into their elbows!!!
ReplyDeleteOh no. Feel better soon. Being sick is no fun, but at least you get to relax and lounge around all day!
ReplyDeleteI know when I'm feeling icky peanut butter helps. It can go on the toast. Tea is another "T" in the diet that can help--plus, it's so soothing and comforting.
ReplyDeleteI really hope you feel better soon! That is so smart of you to eat the BRAT diet!
ReplyDeleteThat's terrible that you're still sick! I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your sick! Hope you feel better real soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way! I can't handle being cooped up and sick! I feel like I'm wasting time (which normally means I just waste more time because I push it too far and well, you know...)
ReplyDeletePraying for quick healing for you!
