Down again but not out.....(this is starting to become a trend)

Its been a huge gap between blogs. Not because we are busy or lazy only because mommy is dying. Yes, dying. I went to the urgent care office (was dragged there by my oh so loving, knows when I'm sick husband) with a head ache from hell and a small rash on my back that I was blaming on the switch from Tide to Gain. Turns out this is no detergent rash, I have shingles and Viral Meningitis and Dying! I've never been the "sickest" person in the ER but was labeled that by the attending while the waiting room was packed and people were coming in on stretchers. So after a visit to urgent care, ER, a CT scan, Spinal tap, some morphine mmmm morphine (only thing that really took the pain away) 3 days on 8e Room 801 with a large plasma TV, That you need to PAY for to watch OMG.....I'm dying.... finally get to watch Oprah with no kids and they are going to make me pay 6 bucks a day....what is this world coming to? And after shoebox full of Vicodin, loads of anti virals, some anti puke pills two basins + full of puke and a lost sock in the hospital I am finally home with my family. Its amazing how much you miss them when they are gone for so long even thought it wasn't at all. Unfortunately once I was home I wanted to crawl into my shell and not come out. Micks mom and grandma are here to help and have been a blessing for the both of us during this time. Even though we could have done it by ourselves because I have the greatest loving hubby out there, he cleaned while I was in lock up....aaaawwww Love you! I'm still ill and get headaches and puke almost every 3 hours. but no more rash and my headaches go away with my new addiction...Vicodin. I need to gear up because son 1 gets his ear surgery tomorrow morning. We are on track, gave him a bath tonight.....check ..... as directed to get all the gross boy germs off of him! Nothing to eat past midnight....check. Now in the morning it should be interesting to allow him no food or drink until his surg at 10. We need to be there by 8 so its the nurses job after that to keep him from his oh so loved morning meal.... OJ and 2 packs of instant oatmeal with a side of fruit please!
