About the flu

Written by Shannon Leigh

Yesterday I had the flu.

I wasn't convinced that it was the flu at first.

I thought it was just indigestion so I took some tums, laid in a ball, etc.

It wasn't until the 7th time I threw up that I was convinced.

I proceeded to throw up 15 times, pulling a muscle in my back and breaking a blood vessel in my neck.

I was basically tossing large intestine sludge (term coined by my sister, Brooke).

Awesome.

I even had to cancel a shoot, bleh.

I've never had to do that before.

Matt had a busy day so I was home alone with the baby.

I thought I was going to die.

Seriously, the flu is WORST.

I decided to take a nice hot bath to relieve the nausea.

I let Ruby (and Izzy for that matter) play in the water by the side of the tub because I was desperate.

They were both soaked.

I also let Ruby watch LOTS of TV.

I think her brain is mush now.

I now have lots of sympathy for those poor women who have really bad morning sickness. I don't know how they do it.

I feel much better today. Still a little woozy and weak.

I'm praising the Lord that yesterday is over.

MISSION DISINFECT is now in full swing.

I'm getting a massage tomorrow.

And because it's my blog and I don't think I ever posted these...
