Hi everyone,
First let me say I have missed all of you a bunch. My prayers are
going out to all who need them or asked for them. I have prayed to God to
answer all prayers even though I don't know what they are, but HE does. I am
asking that you all would pray for hubby and I to get over this sickness we
have been fighting for over a month now.
I am not real sure what it is but it is a BAD one to get over. I can
tell you that much. The doctor said I have rhinovirus, sinusitis, pneumonia,
and I was contagious the day I seen him. On 7/11/07 I went to the nearby
walk-in clinic with hubby and was diagnosed with a bad cold and pneumonia
and had a fever of 101, and was sent home with a prescription of
doxocycline, 100 mg. 2 times a day for 10 days, but after the meds were
gone, I started to feel bad again, but by the time I was able to get in
touch with the walk-in doctor, I had been off of the meds for more than 4
days, and he wanted me to come in and see him again, so I went to my own
doctor instead. Since I had to go back in anyway, and knew if I was given
something this time, if I needed a boost after the meds were gone, I would
only have to call and get more instead of having to be seen again. I don't
think they understand at the walkin that when you are SO sick, and feverish,
you REALLY don't feel like sitting in a waiting room waiting to hear what
you KNOW you have and to have it confirmed that you ARE sick, subjecting all
those other people to whatever you are contagious with. I tried to sit away
from everyone and stay "contained" in my little corner, trying not to touch
anything, with my hooded sweatshirt on since I was cold and feverish, even
though it was a beautiful warm sunny day. I wonder, how many people did I
unwillingly infect, just to go in so they could get their money, and give me
my $4.00 worth of pills? I prayed that I didn't make anyone sick. After
leaving the clinic, I went to Wal Mart pharmacy to get my meds, which was
another long wait, and so I tried to sit on the bench nearby, away from as
many people as I could and asked them to call my name when the meds were
ready so I could stay in my little "area" as not to infect more people. I
left the house with hubby at 8 am that morning, and didn't get home with my
diagnosis and our meds till 12 noon. I was so happy to get a pill in me and
climb back into my warm bed! I finished my meds on a Friday and was fine all
weekend, so I decided I was fine to go out and see my parents, sine I hadn't
seen them for so long. I had beans and cornbread with my dad for lunch, and
mom had her lunch from "meals on wheels", and dad put his aside so he could
eat what I was having with me. He even made a big batch as I had said I was
coming back out again that week since we had missed a lot of time together,
and I was going to make it up to him. I felt fine that whole time I was out
there visiting with them and didn't cough or sneeze once, but as I was
leaving to go home about 3 pm that evening, I was starting to feel tired.
When I finally got home, hubby was home from work already, and I asked if he
was hungry, but luckily he was not and he said he also felt really tired, so
we both went to bed and took a "nap". We awoke at midnight and being
thirsty, we both had some V8 juice and I covered the birds and put them to
bed. We both struggled through the next few days feeling tired and sick and
then decided it was again time to go back to the doctor. Even though we go
in together and see the doctor, they charge us for 2 visits, so we decided
since I was the sickest, they would see me. I was again diagnosed with the
same thing, had a fever, and was contagious, and was given 500 mg of
amoxocyline 3 times a day this time. I am currently taking those and can
feel when it is time for another dose, as that is when I feel the worst.
Like right now, as my pill is due in 30 minutes. I start to feel plugged up
and dizzy and weak. There are times when I feel better and then try to do a
little something around here since my house looks like a cyclone hit it, and
dishes are piling up in the sink, but I try not to do too much at one time
and run my system down again. We are running out of toilet paper, Kleenex,
and things to drink so we will have to "bite the bullet" and go to the store
soon, since we have no one to take care of us but us.
I am sorry if this is long, but I wanted to let you know why I have
been absent for so long and what we have been going through here. It also
seems like hubby and I are passing this back and forth to each other, and we
can't seem to get the doctors to understand that and treat us both equally.
Hubby's pills are about gone, and I still have days to go on mine so we will
try to call the doctor in a few days and see if they will give him just
enough meds so his pills will last as long as mine, so we can both be
hopefully over this at the same time, so as not to pass it back again. I am
feeling a little better each day, and since hubby is at work today (and not
laying in the bed) I am going to wash the bedding and try to keep the germs
down as much as I can. I am running the dishwasher as I type this so as to
disinfect the dishes that were in the sink and all over the kitchen. I am
not up to cooking yet so tonight's supper will be pot pies that only take 30
minutes to cook in the oven.
If you are wondering about the fids they are mad since mommy hasn't
been able to spend much time with them, but they do get let out of their
cages and get fed daily, and when I wake at night, even if it is after 10
pm, they get covered and put to bed. They just don't get their nightly
snuggles before bed right now, or the one on one quality time we have spent
in the past, as I don't want to get my babies sick. I know they understand
that I am sick, but they don't understand why I don't give them a quick
cuddle before bad. I will try to make it up to them when and if I ever get
over this. I was thinking how long I have been sick yesterday and figured
out I have been sick for over a month. I was sick for a week before I even
went to the doctor the first time.
Hubby and I are planning to go to South Dakota, Wyoming, MT. and
Montana with Bob and Chris this year for vacation. They have been laying off
people at hubby's shop, but if they don't layoff hubby, we are still
planning to go. If all goes right, we will be in Cody, WY on the 22nd of
August (my birthday), and the "Cody Night's Rodeo".
We spent the week of July 4th, till the weekend putting new tires on
the motorcycle and that wore us down, and I think that is when we both
started to get so sick. We tried to find places that would do it, but most
places here closed for the week since the 4th was on a Wednesday. It sounds
like an easy task, but it wasn't and we had many problems with every step we
took just to get the wheels off. We had to almost take the whole bike apart
to get to the wheels. The saddle bags, the seats, the trunk, and even with
them off, they still had to be connected in spots and wire tied to the bike
and left to hang, and careful not to get them all scratched up in the
process. When it was done, we were glad we did it since we learned a lot
about our bike, but we now know it IS a BIG job, and well worth the money
they were asking. The money was not the problem though, it was finding
someone open that could do the job, and they were all closed for the week.
Sorry this is so long, but thank you for reading it.
