A difficult week

August 27th, 2009 Julie

This has been a rough week.  I have been very sick.  I haven’t been this sick since my first week of chemo.  Just caught some kind of virus that attacked my throat so badly I almost couldn’t breath it was so swollen by the time I got into the doctor after two days of suffering.  I was spitting my own saliva out it was so painful to swallow.  I had a high fever and aches.  No one else in my home has been sick, which is odd.  My kids are usually the ones who get stuff first and bring it home then cough, sneeze, and slobber all over me until they get me sick.  ha  You know, the joys of being a mom.  ha ha

Thankfully, I got into the doctor and she realized how serious it was and put me on a steroid to shirk the tissues, gave me a shot of antibiotic in my butt like when I was a kid and gave me something to help the pain in my throat.  Ugh.  What a deal.   Just today I can swallow water without having to brace myself for the pain.  Food would be nice some time soon.  I hope tomorrow.  Luckily, I have plenty of reserve to hold me in that department.

Our remodeling project is going well.  We will be done in a few weeks.  I can’t wait.  Tired of having my home all tore up and living out of just a few rooms.

The kids start school next week.  One more summer down.  It’s kind of sad.  This is the last year my oldest will be in jr. high.  Next year he will be off to high school.  Seems like we just took him to kindergarten in Vancouver.  How can it be?  I feel the empty nest syndrome coming on.

My husbands family had their last funeral today for awhile, God willing.  We lost two very close together.  I know there is so much sadness in Arkansas tonight.  We love you.
