Whoooaa!

Ok-to catch ya'll up on what has happened over here....on the day that I posted my last post, I was feeling a bit under the weather-couldn't get warm all day and unusually tired. It was about a week before my little one was set to have surgery so I thought maybe I was just feeling stressed that I wanted everything to be done (i.e. the quilt she requested, like her big sis had for her surgery, the knitted bunny she wanted, the soft food grocery shopping and full house cleaning that my house really needed). So, I trudged through most of the day until hubby got home. Then I went to lay down for a bit and fell asleep for the rest of the night. Very weird for me. The next day, I couldn't lift my head off the pillow and that is when I knew it...I had the flu. Exactly one week before my daughter's surgery, I had the @#$% flu! What to do?? Well, nothing! I couldn't do a thing about it! I cancelled the knitting class I was supposed to teach, I couldn't knit(!), so I just laid there and cried and slept....and slept some more.
I got tamilfu from the doctor, who followed up with a phone call two days later, and told me that my bloodwork showed I had a sinus infection and the influenza, and he warned that I better do "nothing for at least 4 days and when I felt better to take it very slow." How?? My daughter was having surgery and so much needed to be done! Well, I found out the hard way that I should've heeded his words...The day after my daughter's surgery, I went overboard a bit and felt the same aches and pains that I had the week prior. It scared me so bad...but it worked. I dropped all housecleaning and knitting and just focused on her care and sleep and I'm finally beginning to feel better-back to my old, slightly tired self. I'm finally knitting again too so all is right with the world. And, daughter is doing so well post op, that I might be able to exhale a bit today...we'll see...
