Hey all, sorry I've been absent, that will get explained below! Thanks for the comments regarding MIL's comment, I agree that it's nothing to worry about it just irked me so I wanted to vent a bit about it I guess sometimes the IL's allow the fog to extend over them as well.
It's been an interesting week. W did get her BRCA test results back on Tuesday, they were negative (awesome news!) so that greenlighted just doing a lumpectomy. Surgery was scheduled for Wednesday. We had previously decided that I would keep S10 at my house until W got to her house after the surgery and then I would bring him over to see her.
I think I previously posted that on the Thursday before I took the kids to Six Flags. Well someone there gave me a lovely gift, on Saturday I started feeling bad and by Monday I was running crazy fevers and barely walking. I went to the doc Tuesday and had Strep Throat. Obviously I was concerned about being around W on Wednesday, so I explained to her what was going on and said I would give her a wide berth, and would keep my hands disinfected. The doc said I shouldn't be contageous by the time I saw her, but why take chances.
So she had the surgery on Wednesday and everything went great! D16 and S10 were with me and pretty much slept through the whole thing, LOL! D18 was with W (so was OM) and kept me updated via text. They did some work on the lymph nodes under W's armpit and she said she'll never be able to have blood drawn or get an IV anywhere on that arm again because of it. That area has been very sore for her, but otherwise she feels well (but very tired).
Despite being on antibiotics, I felt terrible Wednesday. I did take S10 and D16 by to visit (D18 and OM took W to and fromthe hospital and were there) and we took W a nice "Edible Arrangements" fruit arrangement and had S10 make a card for her that we all signed. W and I talked for quite a while, but I told her I had to run because I was starting to feel poorly again. By the time I got home I was shaking violently from the strep.
W has continued to get better, but I continued to get worse. I went back to the doc on Friday and took my antibiotics with me. I showed the doc a discrepency I had found, the CVS printed label said 1 tab per day while the "factory" label" said 1 per 12 hours. The doc couldn't believe such a blatant mistake happened. So THAT is why I wasn't getting better, they screwed up the label info!
I'm feeling better now, but that few days delay was a huge setback in my recovery. My throat is a disgusting mess, sores all up and down it and inside the Eustachian tubes and even on the roof of my mouth. It's so painful that drinking water brings tears to my eyes. I've lost 14 pounds, I'm that dehydrated. Terrible!
The good news is W is doing quite well. She's going to try and go to work for a while tomorrow. MIL is going to be staying with her starting tomorrow.
This hasn't changed anything in our sitch, but I wasn't expecting it to. We're getting along quite well though.
Now I've got to get this Strep out of my life, I am soooo tired and just not getting hardly anything done. My weight training has ground to a halt and my eating has been almost zero for a week. Ugh!
I guess sometimes the IL's allow the fog to extend over them as well.
