So typical for me that this was my first appointment free week in months. Completely unplanned and I was looking forward to it. Saturday was our last Auskick match and Andrew had planned for the 2 big kids to go to his parents for a sleep over. Another big event for us. After we both spent the week fighting off a cold he was getting better and I was getting worse. Watching J play his last game I was coughing, freezing cold and constantly blowing my nose. When it came time to go home I was dizzy and feeling weak. Not a good start to our night off. It went downhill from there and I spent the rest of the weekend in bed thinking it would get better by Monday. It got worse. Monday and Tuesday I wasn't eating, barely talking and I had a temp fluctuating day and night. Hubby had the time off work and looked after the kids. I missed them and they missed me. During this time I appreciated Alyssas' feelings when it becomes too much for her.
Noise bothered me. Light was too bright. Pyjamas were all that I wanted to wear. It was too much effort to talk or to explain yourself.
I hate being sick but it gave me an appreciation of what she feels each and everyday.
She doesn't stop, she never complains, she just does!
