SICK, SICK, SICK ...

Well, having a flu shot does not mean  that you are apperantly going to avoid getting sick. As a matter of fact, I am thinking the shot they gave me must have been expired or a bogus shot - acuz it just did not work ! :O(

My lungs feel so full and heavy right now and I am hacking so hard it hurts. With having asthma, I seriously am contemplating whether or not I should go to the hospital or doctor. I always try to delay going, but dang - I did not sleep a wink last night and I woke up feeling as if someone rolled over each of my appendages with a steam roller.

Yesterday I did feel pretty crappy, but just not so worn out and exasuted. I am sure the way I am breathing has something to do with it, but I did get alot done yesterday and even squeezed in some outside time with the kids as it was actually quite a nice day ! Today NADA ... I talked on the phone with my Mom for well over an hour, took a long nap and sat and watched TV. I feel guilty for not getting more done. Do any of you who stay at home ever feel this way ?  Gak, maybe it is just me, I always feel that if I don't "contribute" around here my day was for nothing. I try hard to keep a schedule - but realize that not everyone is perfect - bad days are gonna happen and not every day is going to happen just like we'd like.

So I just hope that tommorrow is better. Maybe I will feel less like a run over piece of poo and the sun will shine a little. :O) Who knows - just trying to make the best out of what you are given is what counts !

 

Hope that you are all having a great day !!

  1. sorry you don't feel well. I still get colds and even the flu after getting the flu shot. I think the flu shot only builds up your immunity for one strain of flu....

  5. You got the H1N1 shot, or you have the flu? It hasn't hit our county yet (the shot or the flu) but I would guess they both are coming....hopefully the shot first!

  10. Yea, Tammy - the regular flu shot doesn't protect you from H1N1.. as I found out.
