Maybe The Worst Week Ever

Monday. I came home from work and we had no hot water. This has happened before but that still doesn't make it ok. I had to take a shower, had to! So, I did everything I could think of to try to make a freezing shower somewhat pleasant. Well, my attempts were weak and didn't work. It was like bathing in an ice shower.
Tuesday. Woke up with a headache and sore throat. I went to work anyway but as the day went on everything got worse. My body started aching and that headache started putting on weight. After a while, I could barely stand. So, I left work early came straight home and went to bed.
Wednesday. I got up, got in the shower (water was fixed by now) and I still didn't have the energy to stand. So I didn't go into work all day. My throat was swollen and sore and very painful. My headache hurt so much it felt as if all my body's weight was in my brain and someone hit my head with an axe.
Thursday. My normal day off. Thankfully doing a little bit better but stayed home all day trying to recoop.
Friday. Feel good enough to go to work. My cold now is in the runny nose stage. So by the end of the night I'm just worn out. I go to bed and all night I keep rubbing my right eye. Not sure why but it just kept drying up getting crusty.
Saturday. I get up and my eye is all red. I take a shower and again there is no hot water. It wasn't completely gone but it was still very cold. Well, I had to go to work so I do and all the girls are telling me to go home and rest. I might have pink eye. Great. So I come home hating how much work I am missing and my eye just gets worse and worse. It spreads to my left eye and that gets worse and worse. So I go to an urgent care and get some drops.
Today. I am home writing all this out with two pink eyes, one which is still really swollen but hey they are getting a little better with the drops. I have to miss church and decide if I should miss work tomorrow too. Oh and I'm still very sick.

Doesn't that sound like the greatest week ever? My eyes should be all better within 7 days. So, hopefully my cold is gone by then too and I can get back to a normal life. It's amazing how much I can take my health for granted. One thing shuts down and its the end of the world.

You mother loves you and feels so bad that you had a hard week. I hate to mention it, but cats are famous for spreading the "pink eye." Be careful around them and their litterbox -- disinfect everything really well, every time! Wish I could pamper you! I'll call soon....love, MOM
