Sickness

This week has been a horrible, long, bed ridden time of sickness. I got sick on Monday and went to the doctor and over the course of the day my temperature went from 99.2 to 101.3, which is really high for me. Its been 4 years since my temperature has been this high. Tuesday morning I was feeling alot better and it looked like the medicine I got from the doctor had worked and that I was over the worst. Well I still think the worst is behind me but now, this morning, I woke up, the sore throat back, a small headache and some pretty bad coughing. I have yet to hear back from the doctor about the strep test, the 10 minute test was negative but he seemed confident that the 72 hour test would be positive. I have 10 days of medicine and I have been supplementing with lots of Tylenol and Advil. Fortunately, John only felt bad for mainly 2 days, Tuesday and Wednesday. He didn't get a doctor's appointment but we have him on lots of meds. Today is his first day back to work since Monday.
He was so great taking care of me on Monday even though he didn't feel so hot himself. He stayed up most of the night checking on me and making sure my temperature was staying low. I love that man. I'm hoping that I will feel fine before tomorrow so that I can still tutor and John can get a little computer fixing money. Pray for me, I need it!
