Holy Sickness Batman!

Goodness Girls! 

I haven't been this sick in yearsssss

I am going on day 12. It all started the Monday after

Superbowl Sunday I started getting "that smell" in my nose

you know the one where the flu is creeping in..

by Thursday my chest was so heavy it felt as if a 400lb

man was sitting on it and I was wheezing and struggling to breathe.

Friday morning I went to see my Doctor. 

upon arriving my breathing worsened and I think 

I had frightened the nurses. The Doctor had asked me to take 

"a few" deep breaths while she listened...I made it to 3 before I 

clutched the side of the table and almost passed out, I began

crying and gasping for breath. It was by far one of the scariest feelings

I have ever felt. She left the room and returned with the oxygen machine

as well as the heart rate monitor. Once I calmed down I explained to her 

that I could not breathe and the deep breaths were near impossible for me. 

She debated on sending me straight to the hospital but was resistant to 

because of all of the sick people in the waiting rooms. She gave me a

shot, a script of steroids, a zpac and an inhaler. 

By Sunday I hadn't gotten any better and actually felt worse

so I made the decision to head to the ER. 

There I found out that I actually not only had pneumonia 

I also had influenza B...

I was given more meds and sent home with strict 

bed rest instructions...

You'd think this was the end. 

but no. 

On Wednesday I was taking my medication 

and got a pill stuck in my throat.. 

I spent all night throwing up trying to dislodge the pill

after visiting Dr. Google I scared the shit 

out of myself and made a Dr. apt. the next morning (valentines day)

to have the pill "removed"

Sadly the Dr. informed me he could not just easily 

reach in and grab it and that If it was still a problem 

the following day he would send me for an xray and then 

to a specialist to be scoped...

While there he also informed me that I was still not 

clear of the pneumonia.. the flu had passed but the 

pneumonia remained. So another shot was given. 

only this time I didn't respond so well. 

go figure. 

as I was paying my copay I broke out in a cold sweat 

and had to run to the bathroom to get sick

I was dizzy and light headed and unable to focus

The nurses rushed to get me back in a room 

fearing I was having a reaction to the injection. 

I was so embarrassed and I just wanted to go home. 

I laid down for 15 minutes and when the color 

returned to my face they let me leave.. 

A valentines day we will never forget.... 

*side note: the pill finally went down on its own thank god!*

My wonderful husband had made me breakfast in bed that morning

Two of my caregivers :)

Unfortunately this illness has 

caused us to step back from our 

IUI this month :( 

today is CD32 with no AF in site

I am thinking she will arrive around CD37..

We just feel that my body has been through a lot this month

and needs some time to recover. 

So we will wait. 

We are good at waiting though, 

we know it's the best choice and 

we also know that good things come to those who wait. 

So we will wait. 

 I will spend the rest of this month and the start of next 

working on me, and becoming the healthiest I can be! 

Because come March we are going to rock 

this IUI! We will get pregnant and we will have a baby!

You hear that body! That's a demand not a request!
