So this morning James and I got on the road at 6:10 am… I didn’t sleep very well last night and started out the morning feeling slightly sick.  As we drove it I started feeling progressively worse.  Around 7:30 am we stopped and got gas, coffee, and breakfast.  I thought maybe if I eat something I will feel a little better, but it didn’t help.  At our next stop I got some water and was feeling about the same.  I did okay just having pretty bad stomach pain but nothing more… well about 10 minutes from Mom and Dad’s the pain hit me and I lost it… on the freeway.  Thankfully we had a bag without holes in it and kleenex.  James got off the freeway and used side streets to get to mom and dad’s.  I am doing okay still having stomach pain every now and then, but alive.  I think the stomach pain is being caused by an allergic reaction due to cross-contamination.  We went to CPK last night for dinner and they do make a shrimp pizza… I am allergic to shrimp so if anything shrimp touched my pizza I could get sick.  If I ingest straight shrimp I will have a really bad reaction with hives and asthma and have to use my epipen.  Thankfully this is not the case.

So right now I am resting on the couch and James is playing Wii Mario Carts with Ruth and Daniel.  We are looking forward to a great week! :)

So on Monday night i went to bed with a really bad sore throat.  It was so bad that I could hardly swallow!  ON Tuesday morning I took James to school and told them I would not be working and came home and went to bed!  Around 10:00 am I called my Allergist to see if he could see me and got an appointment for 11:15 am.  I got up and got dressed and headed to see Dr. Lin.  He took one look at my throat and said, “You are starting to get Strep.  Let me give you an antibiotic and you should be feeling better in a few days!”  So I got an antibiotic and came home and went back to bed!  Last evening I was feeling worse.  I couldn’t keep anything down and had a pounding headache.  Around 9:30 pm I was able to keep all of the medicine I took down and went to bed!  I am feeling a little better today, but still not 100% so I stayed home from work again.  I will hopefully being going back tomorrow, only if James will allow me too! :)
