Back in the land of the living...I hope!

Well, my fever is finally down to 100 degrees and I feel like a new person. I've had a stomach virus (at least that's what hte doctor said) since 3am Tuesday morning and I'm just now beginning to feel better. I actually took a shower today and brushed my teeth...amazing! I've missed 4 days of work and my first 2 days of class for the semester which is a bummer. My poor puppy has suffered the neglect of having to live in the kitchen for full time for the past several days because I haven't had the energy to even take her outside to use the bathroom. Poor puppy! Fortunately, I think I am on the upside of this illness. I really thought on Wednesday night that I was going to die. Most of the past week I have had about 102 degree temperature and MAJOR pain in my stomach, even when I was just lying still. The doctor poked and prodded on me and was quite pleased that my abdomen hurt on both sides because that meant that I didn't have appendicitis (however you spell that). No surgery! Yippee!

I've got to confess that I'm REALLY sick of catching EVERY SINGLE sickness that goes around. I have known ZERO people who have had this stomach intestinal virus thing and yet I managed to come down with it. I haven't even been around people since I've been back to Texas. The only place I want was to McDonalds drive through on Monday for lunch. I had myself convinced that it was food poisoning, but people have told me that you do not run fever with food poisoning and it usually only lasts about 24 hours. Anyway, 96 hours later I'm feeling better but I'm having to cancel my weekend road trip plans to San Antonio with the girls from church:( I'm upset about that because I've never been to San Antonio.

If I'm feeling better tomorrow, I hope to go to the bookstore and buy books and begin playing catch up from the two classes I already missed.

Back to lying down for now...
