Last night i started to develop a sore throat and was really hoping it was nothing. This morning I could hardly swallow and thought i had tonsillitus, so i thought it was best to go see my doctor just in case i needed antibiotic. She had a look at my throat, listened to my chest, took my temp and told me its not tonsillitus, its a virus!

This virus is similar to the flu but worse! Its been going around for the last few weeks and makes people very sick, vomiting, diarrhea, high temps, the usual bad stuff and lasts for about 3 weeks- JOY JOY JOY!! At least i wont have to worry about the diarrhea (for once i am thankful for the illiostomy lol).

She did state however that if i have had the virus for less than 24 hours i might be able to kill it. She suggested some tablets that cost $50- if i had the money i would get it but i dont, alternativly, she said i could take enough vitamin C to change my PH levels, so about 20 tablets today! Thats alot of vitamin C

So i have a container beside me with 20 chewable tablets in it. Have had 4 so far and they are makin me feel sick! i hate taking tablets.

So far Eric is ok (at least i think he is), but to be sure i brought some orage juice with added vitamin C for him to drink. He is in day care at the moment so i hope he does not have the virus.

Now i am stuc with a delemer, if i have not caught it in time i could be sick for 3 weeks so really need to clean the house and catch up on washing BUT I should really rest so that i can give myself a chance to kill the virus. To clean or not to clean- that is the question! If only there was only a bit of cleaning that needed to bedone, i put off doing a big clean for today seeing as Eric is not home, i guess there is a lesson- dont put things off!!

Well i think i should go and just potter around slowly while i have the energy, and attempt more tablets (yuck).

Have a good day all
