Sick, Sick and more sickness!

Some of this I have already posted so I am just going to start at the begining. So a week ago Monday I had a bladder infection. Just as that was clearing up I had a fever and chills on Sunday. But by Monday I was feeling better. Tuesday I woke up with a pink or red eye. Which I assumed was pink eye. Kamden had it a few weeks ago and so I started taking her medicine. That one eye swelled shut that night. Then on Wenesday my other eye was pink or red so I started putting medicine in that eye too. Wenesday night that eye swelled shut. So by Thursday both eyes were red and still a little swullen. I decided it couldn't be pink eye because the medicine should have worked. Since I had a stuffy runny nose from Sunday I figured it must just be a cold in my eyes. Anyway on Thursday when I woke up I wasn't feeling great and within 30 minutes I was throwing up and also had it coming out the other end. I hadn't eatten since the night before so I wasn't throwing much up. I spent all morning and afternoon sleeping and running to the bathroom. Then my sister was kind enough to bring me some 7-up which ended up coming up and out both ends. I decided to take my temp and it was up. So I called the hospital and they called the Dr. who told the chemo nurses they were to busy to deal with me so I had to figure something on my own. Nice ha, I pay them $350 a visit and they are my Dr.'s still because I am still on Chemo and this is what they tell me. So a very nice friend kept my kids so Ryan and I could go to the Emergency room. Where we were given great treatment. So much better than my last visit to the Emergency room. They run blood test, took some X-rays and did some test where they take your blood pressure when you lay, sit and stand. So what they decided is that I was dehydrated, have some sort of flu bug and a sinus infection. So they gave me an IV for some fluids and put me on an atibotic. They also recommended that I take my Zofran which is my nuasa medicine. Oh, why didn't I think of that earlier well I was throwing up. They said they give that out all the time with patients that are throwing up. So when I got home I took one and I felt alot better along with the fluids they gave me really help. So today I feel better still a little tired but so much better than yesterday. So if this is what no chemo gets me I can't wait to be back on chemo. Just kidding I am so glad it was nothing bad and that I will still be able to have chemo on Tuesday.

Oh yuck, Rochelle. I'm sorry you've been feeling so sick. That Zofran is good stuff. I still keep an expired bottle around from my last pregnancy, just in case. :-) I hate throwing up. I hope you feel all better SOON!

Rochelle,
I am so sorry that you went through that flu too! I'm finally getting over it after 3 weeks and 3different meds. They said that the flu shot was worthless this year. -Totally missed the mark. Rain today but spring IS on the way. Things ARE looking UP!!! Love those flowers in the pic. Love you!
