Valentine's Day.....not what I expected.....

I haven't really felt good all week, but just assumed it was a common cold. I stayed home from work on Tuesday and felt well enough yesterday to work all day. This morning I felt pretty run down again so I stayed home and decided I should go see the doctor. So, they did a great little test that invovled sticking a q-tip up my nose to collect some snot (no better way to put it) and from that little test they were able to determine that I have influenza A. My doctor said I am only the second case of this that she has seen in someone who had the flu shot! Yes, I had the flu shot and still have the FLU!!! So, I am now waiting for the pharmacy to drop off a big barrell of tamiflu for the entire family. She said that since I have it we will treat everyone and hopefully they won't get it. They all had the shot to so I am hopeful with the shot and the medicine that I will be the only one who gets this, it is pretty miserable. It is like a really nasty cold with no energy and my entire body aches. Yes, I did say that my pharmacy will be delivering our meds. Isn't that great? One of my friends has recently opened a pharmacy in a neighboring town and she wants to keep her customers from when she worked here in Marengo so she offers free delivery....gotta love that. Our pharmacist here in town is not a friendly person and you have to wait forever to get your prescription filled, so I am more then happy to not have to go there, thank you Beth!!
So back to today. Yes, it will be a quiet evening at home. We don't typically do anything to celebrate and I actually had a hair appointment tonight so I am really bummed to be missing that (ladies you know how that is, missing a hair appointment is a big deal!)
