From Friday night until Saturday morning I had trouble falling asleep as I began to experience some intense chills. I tried bundling up with extra blankets and moving to different positions but nothing was working. On Saturday the chills continued but then also came body aches and a fever. It was a busy day of my son's championship cross-country race and I did not want to miss it. This was the last race with the high school team. As rough as it was I made it and watched him with pride. Then went home and took a nap. Later that evening was the marching band show, which both my kids are part of. This was another last for our son and something else I refused to miss. On Sunday I missed out on church and stayed in bed. Thankfully, my husband was kind enough to help out with dinner and other things. On Monday I was still miserable and took off work, something I don't like to do and they don't even like when we do it but I was not in any shape to drive. I stayed in bed. Last night my head was pounding so badly that it caused my eyeballs to ache. I took Tylenol and headed to bed early. This morning I woke up feeling better and was able to do my van run. So far, I'm okay and need to make up for all the housework I couldn't get to but I'm still going to try and take it slightly easy. I did not get a professional diagnosis but I'm certain it was the flu. One of the boys in my van had the flu last week so I'm guessing that's the culprit. It was miserable. I cannot remember the last time I felt that sick.
Today my daughter is home sick. We can never seem to get through one month of the school year without a sick day, it seems. I'm praying November is kinder to us in that way.
I hope you are staying healthy.
