Oh the Agony!

Well the 4th of July weekend didn't go exactly as planned around the Huskies to Husbands household.  We had a little visitor that was not invited and very unwelcome come to stay.  The stomach flu hit us hard on Saturday afternoon while out at the BBQ at our friends ranch.  Ugh, me and the bushes became fast friends sadly.  Kevin started in a few hours later.  Needless to say it was a long long long night.  Flat Coca-Cola and the restroom became our new best friends.  Thank goodness we have two bathrooms!  Sunday morning led to us still not feeling well with my temperature topping out at about 102.  However, being sick didn't mean we didn't have to work.  The fireman's 4th of July celebration required our attention.  We made it through Sunday, I still don't quite know how.  The BBQ and fireworks were a huge success.  Monday we attempted to recuperate from our illness more, but it seems like it is a long hard road back to feeling well still.  I am sure that all the extra exertion didn't help with the healing process though. 

Things Have Got to Get Better!

So, I broke down and went over to the health clinic here in our tiny town. The PA confirmed my suspicions... Another UTI. JOY!!! Not - LOL! Back onto the lovely antibiotics I go. I just hope that one super high dosage round is enough this time.

The PA also agreed that I just can not go on like I am with the constant pain and gave me a prescription for some pain medication. I will get it on Monday when the hubby goes to town and then hopefully get a little relief when the pain is just too intense to take.

Speaking of the hubby, he is off on an overnight adventure in search for a trophy buck antelope. He really wants a trophy and well the dogs really want the meat! :)

Which leads us to my girls night in :) Well not just girls... Rebel is a boy - sort of - since he is neutered. So I guess it really is a Mommy and Doggies night in. Plus I get to have most of the day tomorrow to myself with no work either! I plan on just reading, relaxing and resting. No housework allowed!

Sunday or Monday will probably be the day I start the final medication the Rheumatologist gave me to try for the Fibromyalgia. Keep your fingers and toes crossed because if this one doesn't work then I get to go for more big scary tests.

Oh in other news - The hubby and I both joined the volunteer fire department here in our tiny town. Him to actually play fire fighter and me to play with the trucks some but mostly to do the next EMT class.

Have a wonderful weekend!
