Hey folks!!! I'm back! If you have been wondering where I've been, I have been sick for the past 2 weeks. Yes, 2 weeks!!! I had an upper respitory viral infection, which put me down for the count. I lost my voice, and slept for almost a whole week!!! I went back to the doctor at the end of the first week and found out I had a secondary infection, so they gave me an antibiotic and a shot in the butt :/ I guess you never really realize how sick you are until you don't care that you have to drop your pants and get a shot of what only feels like a small child being pushed through the nell of edle!!!
The second week I spent trying to regain my strength. I actually got out of bed and went downstairs to see things other than the inside of my room. I attempted to go back to work on Wed., but that was a big mistake! The kids were so excited to see me after being gone for a week and a half, which was sweet, but I could barely stand up on my own. I went home and didn't go back until yesterday.
I do have to say that my family is wonderful. Andy took care of me in the evenings when he got home from work, feeding me medicine, laying with me in bed, forcing fluids on me, and giving me anything I needed. During the day, Mom and Dad saved the day!!! The first week when I couldn't get out of bed, Dad came over and took care of me, while cleaning the kitchen! The next two days, Mom came over and did the same, but took care of all of our laundry. She even helped me clean out my closet, which was stuffed with extra clothes that I didn't need. I know that I am a "grown up" now, but it was nice to still have my parents take care of me! :) Not that I don't love it when Andy does too :)
In other news, Andy has lost about 45 lbs!!! He is the Incredibly Handsome Shrinking Man!!! Literally! He is looking like a whole new person, not to mention how wonderful he feels to be so physically active! He is playing basketball at least 2 times a week, and we're taking walks with the puppies now that the weather is nicer! For those of you far away, I will try to snap a picture of him soon and post his progress!!!
That's all for now!!!
