Hooray for not having swine flu! (probably TMI)

Yesterday morning I was feeling pretty gross when I rolled out of bed, but my carpool was coming to get me in like 10 minutes so I just pulled on clothes and went to school anyway. The entire car ride I'm saying, "I wanna throw up and get it over with, then I can feel better!" So I proceed to throw up in the school parking lot (Sorry, TMI) but unfortunately I don't feel better.

Things start to really go downhill over the next hour or so and when the bell rings and my students come in I feel sooo horrible that I go to the principal and tell her I have to go home. I called Jay who rushed in to pick me up. Yesterday was spent in bed and in the bathroom with vomiting, diarreah, fever, dizziness, headache, bodyaches... basically I felt like I had been hit by a bus. Then I started to worry... what if it was swine flu and I just exposed everyone at school?? Oh no!

I called my drs office and they said to come in to instacare to get checked. When we got there I slumped in a corner as we were told it would be a 45 minute wait. After an hour of waiting, Jay got up to ask how much longer only to be told it would be another 30 to 45 minutes. ARGH!!! So we left and figured I could hang out in bed at home and we'd call in a few hours and maybe go back later when it wasn't so busy. I fell asleep and Jay didn't wake me up so we didn't go back.

I slept until 2pm today! WOW! Now I'm up, still feeling woozy and weak, but otherwise a lot better. Must have been some 24 hour bug or something. I'm just SOO glad it wasn't more serious! I quaranteened myself to my bedroom and Jay's been taking care of Topher so hopefully he won't catch anything.

The last 24 hours have been awful, but at least it's almost over and it wasn't more serious!
