My wife’s still sick – nasty virus
My wife’s been the sickest she’s ever been in our marriage – high fevers, vomiting, diarrhoea and soreness all over. Pretty much the worst flu she’s ever had.
At first we suspected that it was food poisioning but today, finally, the doctor informed us that it was the flu – a rather nasty strain is currently circulating in town.
A friend of mine has had his young boy hospitalised for three days due to this strain of the virus so i seriously hope that it’s not going to come to that for my wife.
She’s been a trooper though..she hardly, if ever, complains and she doesn’t suffer from the male version, Man Flu either.
Naturally i’ve taken over the MomDad duties, which means also dropping the kids off to day care and school – obviously i’m not nearly as organised as my wife is on this point as i’ve forgotten several items already that they have to have with them.
The kids has been good though – even though Mom is feeling poorly i’ve been told that they still love her…nice to know :)
Unfortunately my wife wasn’t this lucky today – i took her to the doctors to have her checked over..i was getting seriously concerned when she was still bedridden after 2 1/2 days (practically unheard off – 10 years of marriage and she’s never been bedridden for more than a day, at the tops) and i knew this here wasn’t just the usual run of the mill head colds.
She got a maxalon injection today – an anti-nausea drug plus the usual assortment of medicines – but we can’t tell our youngest daugther who’s absolutely terrified of “The Jab”. Only bad doctors give “The Jab” and good doctors just give you medicine.
Problem at the moment is that she can hardly move – the fever’s crawling through her and making her so weak that she can hardly even keep a conversation going.
Anyways, the strain of missing Mom is definitely taking it’s toll on the kids – their routine is totally shot down and the time they normally spend with Mom is null and void – especially since this strain of the virus is so darn nasty and we really want to limit the possibility of the kids getting infected as well.
It’s been a long week already and i hope she’ll get better soon – tomorrow’s a new day but i doubt she’ll be fit for duty in the morning.
Love you sweetie – get better soon
