Happy Life, Happy Wife

Well, unfortunately Melissa was right on the Day 5 comment.  I did really catch something!

Luckily, I didn’t get the sickness my BIL had (so no throwing up…)  Instead I got the illness my mom had 1-2 weeks ago.  I honestly thought I was having a panic attack and going insane.  On Monday morning, I had to call my mom to pick me up from work because I wasn’t feeling good.

Me:      Oh man, you wouldn’t believe what happened to me the other night.
Mom:  What was the matter?
Me:      I seriously think I’m having a prolonged panic attack or some sort of axiety problem.  My legs were shaking so bad.
Mom:  Really?  I’m glad to hear you say that because I thought there was something wrong with me!

So apparently we had the exact same symptoms!  She said her legs were more twitching as opposed to the violent shaking I had.

On Sunday I ate 1 Eggo waffle and that was it.  Monday I held down her recliner for about 8 hours until Shane came to pick me up, and all I had that day was about 4 slices of an apple.  I had zero desire to eat or drink anything.  By Tuesday I knew I needed to eat something, so I had 8 chicken nuggets from Chick-Fil-A (thanks again to my mom for bringing them to me!) but that was it for Tuesday.  Finally today I’m getting a little bit of an appetite back.  I had half a bowl of cereal for breakfast and now I’m having some chicken for dinner.

This is definitely the strangest illness I’ve ever had!  I had no sore throat or congestion or anything, but I basically didn’t move for 4 days.  I was going to bed around 8:30 and not waking up until 10 or 10:30 the next morning.  I NEVER sleep in that late!  And when I was awake, I was practically a zoned-out vegetable on the couch.  My body just felt so heavy that I couldn’t move it.  It felt like I had no muscles.  I’m not very good at describing it, but suffice it to say I’ve been miserable.

But after missing 3 days of work, I’m glad to be going back tomorrow.

What I’m not glad about is that I’m behind on my 30 in 30.  I was in no shape to do any of that, so now I’m going to have to do a couple a day to catch up and be done by Thanksgiving.
