I am really glad I did not try to exercise this week because I would be setting myself up for failure. On Thursday I woke up feeling crummy. I felt nauseous in the shower. I chalked it up to PMS and knew it would improve as the day went on. I tried not to think about the fact I had to work a 12 hour day. It did not get better. It got worse as the day went on. Around 4:00 PM I started to get up and walk around, set up chair etc. I thought that would help after sitting at the computer for two hours. I felt way worse. By that time I was getting chills. I went home early. I got in the house a little after 5 and went right to bed. The chills got worse and my stomach started to hurt. I threw up once. I thought it was another quick bug because I slept all night. I did not get up in the night at all. I woke at 6:30 AM and felt weak.
I decided to move to the family room and watch a movie after the kids left for school. Then I felt awful to the point I was crying. I felt so weak and miserable. I tried to drink Gatorade but I could not keep it down. Rob had me try Pepto Bismal but I could not keep it down either. I literally sat on the bathroom floor crying. By 10:30 AM I felt like my body was crashing and I went back to bed. Rob put a warm wash cloth on my head. I slept until 3:30 PM. I remember the TV shows changing and Rob coming in at times. I honestly don't remember much else. It felt like I only slept 2 hours, but Rob said I was out for 6. I felt significantly better when I woke up--just weak. By the evening I could keep down saltines and Gatorade.
I am better today. I am thankful we don't have to go anywhere or be anywhere. If today was a workday, I still don't think I could go in. I am ready to be healthy today. The last two weeks have been incredibly frustrating. I feel like I am working in a sea of germs because everyone is getting really sick. I am hoping I don't break out in hives again, but honestly I won't be shocked if I do.
