Flying Solo

Austin's been a solo man as of late....

 I got super sick with a bacterial infection (as of late, more tests to come.)

But before that was Austin with a 5 day flu, and then me with the flu, and then when I got better from that, I got an infection woot woot! Healthy over here!

I got super flu-y again over the weekend and I won't go into details. I got a bit better and I had been fine to go teach a class on Monday at my college because I had gotten over what I though to be whatever Austin had. Then Tuesday went to my CNA class. And while I was there I was talking to a friend. She was telling me about her annoying apartment neighboors and I shouted, " UM... I'mma be sick hold on...." And I swear to St. Maria I have every trash can mapped out in that EITC building because when I went bursting down the hallway to the bathroom, it felt like friggin videogames and finding checkpoints. 

I ended up cleaning the EITC bathroom stall for them.... let's just say that. I went home and tried to brush it off then BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM....Psh I finally went to urgent care because this was four days now after an already five day flu... and getting so much worse with abdominal cramping.

Naturally they want to take my blood. And I am so dehydrated by a weekend and half-day of this already.... look what they had to do to my arm!

So.... as it always goes for us Needle-Phobes.... six stabs later they go to your hand.

 When I am a nurse, I am going to feel so bad for doing this to people cause I HATE it. 

Got a buncha tests and antiobiotic fun stuff and and anti-diarrhea medication to retain fluids. They told me to try really hard to get stuff in me because my blood was sticky.

So we got this stuffs and a giant gatorade:

 

 Three of those Ensures are missing..... Two of them over two days BLAM BLAM BLAM!!!

And so was a bit of that medication BLAM BLAM!

Flip.

Austin decided to give me a blessing so the antibiotics would take. I got the impression to drink gatorade so I would have one last throw up so it wouldn't be with the antibiotics. After that session I took down a pill and I got one down. 

Success!

Except then it was SO bad....  because THE SIDE AFFECT IS NAUSEA OMGsh!!! I was watching the Biggest Loser on my laptop to get my mind off of it, and I swore I watched a 24hour marathon because I felt like a pressure chamber ready to explode all over again.

Austin got the impression that I was severely dehydrated and since I hadn't had anything really stay in me for four days minus a bottle of milk on Monday.... the big issue now was just getting water in. I drank two of the smallest sips and I threw up in my mouth immediately.... but I was determined to keep down the antibiotic because I know that's a huge part of this. I drank down 30mL of water over 2 hours by sucking it off my finger like a bird feeder LOL.... and it worked!!!!

And this morning so did the antibiotic :DDD

Oh the power of prayer and hanging in there praying every 2 seconds in your head to keep the darn stuff down.

I can't wait to enjoy these bad boys we bought on sale before I got super sick:

 Austin told me that they're the best oranges he's ever had in a while, and I believe him because I've been catching him like this all this time!

He's been taking such good care of me!

Best husband ever!
