{Sick, sick, sick…}

Ugh, so this past week Aaron and I have both been sick, with different things. Last Saturday I just thought that my nasty allergies were getting to me, but by Saturday night, it was definitely more than allergies. I was achy, sore, my nose was stuffed up, my eyes were watering, and, well, lots more. I slept most of Sunday. I called in sick on monday, and slept from 9-5, solid. I drove to work on tuesday and went to medical, only to be sent home. The stand in PA told me that it was probably a sinus infection, and to wait it out. Great. So, being stubborn, I drove to work again on Wednesday and tried to help out. But my coworkers told me to go home, that they were fine without me, and to get better. They are great, and I appreciate them! So, it’s wednesday, and as soon as I got back home I went back to bed for 8 more hours. At this point I am still not feeling any better, and it has been 5 days, oh, and at this point I have lost 10 pounds. I have never been this sick in my life, and always pride myself on having a strong immune system – but not this time. My good friend and conveniently located neighbor Heather offers me her crazy nose-drain teapot thing, and I thought, I’ll give anything a shot at this point. And I swear, that thing was the turning point. I still felt kind of crappy going to bed, but now my nose was a little bit clearer. Aaron ’strongly encouraged’ me to not even try going in on Thursday, so I took his advice. I slept in on Thursday and kind of felt a little bit better. So I took the day to recover and will be headed to work tomorrow. But here are some funny things that Aaron and I learned about each other this week:

1. I can be a mad mucous making machine

2. Pounding through 3 boxes of Kleenex in 4 days is doable

3. That Aaron does a great song/dance that makes you feel better for 2 seconds

4. When one of you makes the other laugh, you both end in a whooping cough war (it just happened!)

5. Watching Dan in Real Life three times in two days is a great idea

6. Hiring someone to paint your backroom is the best idea in the world when you’re sick (More on that coming soon!!)

7. As for this whole ‘in sickness and in health’ thing – Aaron is the most amazing husband to have!! Thanks, Aaron, I love you!!

Now it’s my turn to take care of sicky Aaron. Poor guy! He’s definitely functional as a human, but not healthy! We would love your prayers for a healthy Nelson household! Thanks!

Root for his team as they are in state right now!! Next game – Saturday!
