Aaaand, I’m back. Good gracious that was terrible. I was sequestered to the toddler’s room for 3 straight days drinking as much as I could, eating popsicles and sleeping while the toddler took my spot in our bed. A position he wouldn’t simply relinquish. Having the flu, followed by bronchitis, it has been an eventful week. As you recall I was singing my own praises last week as Heather was attending meetings all week. I should’ve known better. Wednesday around lunch, I started going downhill. It was a long way down to be sure. At one point I had a 103 fever while on 800mg of Motrin. Body aches, nose running, head pounding, etc.
After a while I was so bored. Let me see if I can recall everything I watched during my down time.
- Silicon Valley – Season 3
- Jack Reacher – Never Go Back
- The Accountant
- Several episodes of Dateline
- Girl on a Train
- iBoy
- A few episodes of Narcos
- Fletch
- 13 Hours
- Good Will Hunting
I’m sure I’ve forgotten a show/movie or two but you get the idea. So, I went from holding down the fort to holding down the bed. And just like that, Heather was back on point, running the house again while I lay in misery. I couldn’t kick the fever, it was just low grade after a while, but I needed to get up and out. I needed to participate in life again. That day finally came on Tuesday. I was able to get up and around and even work a bit. It was nice and I finally had all the meds I would need. Yay, I am back and ready to relieve Heather of her single mom role.
