Strep Throat

Yesterday was my worst day ever. I have been dealing with a bad sore throat for a week and then I woke up yesterday morning and couldn't swallow and my throat was so swollen. I went to work yesterday with having a ten hour day ahead of me I was wondering if I was going to make it. While I was work I started get body aches starting with my lower back all the way down to my toes. I was in so much pain I can't even explain and then about hour or two later I was aching from my head all the way to my toes. I hurt so bad and I didn't know what hit me. I have never experienced this much pain all over my body before. I told my boss that I wasn't feeling well, but we were short handed, so I had to gut it out until close to 6. I had to take care of close to 20 children. When I finally left work Dan took me to Sioux Falls to acute care and we found out that I had severe strep throat. The doctor looked at my throat and couldn't believe how bad my throat was swollen. I can't go to work for sure today (Thursday) and probably won't be going tomorrow if I still feel like this. I am currently on two antibiotics. I wish this medicine would work faster. I can barely talk and for sure can't eat much sides malts or something really cold, which could be a good thing. I could finally maybe loose some weight. :) The doctor did say that he was going to have a ear, nose, and throat specialist call me today to make an appointment to see if I need my tonsils out. I have had strep throat twice within a month or so. OK enough of my problems.

Tyler is still having a hard time at daycare and I am not sure if its the atmosphere. Yesterday (wed) he cried most of the day, so my boss let him be with me from time to time. Today, since I am home he is with me and he is just happy go lucky in a good mood. The other day when I got him ready to go to work he fought me to put his coat and shoes on, so I don't know what his deal is. Tuesday he did fine there, so who knows. The good thing is Tyler shouldn't catch my strep throat because he is currently on medication for his cold, so that is good. Well, I hope everybody has a great day.

Well my goodness!! I sure hope you feel better soon! I couldn't imagine being so sick and trying to take care of that many children at the same time. Take it easy girl!
