Health update
On the day after my post about Jamie and the antibiotic screw up at Walgreens, I called my doctor's office and had them call the prescription in to CVS. I called CVS, they had it just fine, gave me a time it'd be done - being apologetic for the delay, but hey, with a major flu season going on I expect that. I arranged to have ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
selenite call them with our insurance information. When Jamie woke up later on, I put the kids in the van and went out to get it - had to wait quite a while in the drive through lane, but I had a book and wasn't worried about that. Getting it went just fine. So he's been on that since Thursday, and seems to be doing better. Having some of the expected antibiotic side effects, and also some nosebleeds, but he's NOT feverish. And it's downright odd at this point, to touch him and find him not feverish.
I, however, am sick. I was having awful aches and pains, that I was first blaming on weather changes - then it turned into feeling like specific bone spots were being hideously jabbed by big metal knitting needles now and then. Next morning I was starting to cough. At this point I'm pretty sure I have succumbed to the flu. I hope the Tamiflu protection on the others still can do some good. I'm in some ways glad it's the flu - trying to figure out WTF was going on with the pain was disturbing. (And the rest of the family just does not like having me suddenly crying out in pain in the middle of a sentence.)
I'm doing my best to rest and take it easy, lots of fluids and all that. Sadly, ibuprofen is about the only thing I can take.
