My back was hurting a lot yesterday and I felt feverish, so I came home a bit early from work. I walked in the door, immediately took a whole "real" pain pill (hydrocodone), got into bed, and proceeded to sleep from about 3:30 to 8 p.m. Hub finally woke me up to come eat some dinner. He said I had been sleeping so hard he checked on me a few times to make sure I was still breathing...
I took another 1/2 a pill about 10:30, went back to bed and slept until 8 a.m. this morning…and I feel SOOO much better today. I am still taking some Tylenol but not needing as much as before. Between the pain medication, the anti-viral drugs, the rest, and time-healing-all-wounds, I seem to be on the mend.
Just got back from taking B to the park. I intend to take it easy today, just putter around the house, de-clutter and do a bit of laundry. I may even take a nap this afternoon!
We're going to a friend's house for a BBQ tonight. She has a boat, and since the weather is nice, she's going to take us for a ride on Lake Washington before dinner. Sounds like low-key fun and I'm looking forward to that.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Sorry to read about the pain. But a bbq and a boat sound like fun. Hope you're up to all the excitement.
ReplyDeleteWork stress totally sucks! It has been part of the stress that has contributed to my weight gain. Holy crap about the shingles. Those things are very painful. Stress is a major cause of shingles. Be careful they might flare up again. Some people are prone to it. Too much of the herpes virus or something like that. My nursing days are long gone. I don't remember exactly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. Glad you are feeling better. Your night sounds so fantastic! Wish I was going on a boat ride somewhere cooler then here. Enjoy! Sounds like you deserve it.
Your evening cruise sounds just wonderful. I'm so glad to read that you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHope your day off helped and that your pain is feeling muchly decreased.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new site. Shingles are terrible, my sister had them a year or so back. I think I can write a book on work stress. I've been too busy with work and life that blogging has been a no go for months.
ReplyDeleteHope the weekend is kind to you and you have fun on that boat. This is nutty (suffering) but then we all get to join in the fray.
ReplyDeleteYour comment about the puppy had me laughing! I just took her to the vet for a foxtail up her nose. ($315.00 est).
You've got the formula - it's the "time" part we hate to wait for.
ReplyDeleteHope time passes quickly enough that you aren't bored.
But not too fast, so you can get some things done!
