Two Days Gone

Saturday you told me to go home because I was coughing. I thought I just had a tickle in my throat. I had just gotten rid of a chronic sore throat so I couldn't be getting sick again. Could I?
I went home and got into bed----and haven't been out of it since. Yes, I am sick again. No surprise to me. I know my body is responding to this entire situation with low resistance to germs.

You have been stable in the hospital. You only threw up once, and that was when the nurse flushed your tube with 500ml of water instead of 100. I don't know if that is truly the reason why you had an episode of 'emesis', but you do. It's always tough to dissuade you from your line of thinking. Today you will get an endoscopy, or some sort of scoping, to see if your insides have a clear pathway. Your biopsy tissues have been sent to a larger facility and the results should be in any moment now.

I haven't been able to go to the hospital, I haven't been able to go to work, I couldn't go to church on Sunday, I had to call the relief caregiver to come early to help Dad. I have had a fever, a cough, a runny nose, headaches and the chills. Dad insisted on playing doctor yesterday. He listened to my chest and said he couldn't hear anything with the stethoscope he was using. Something's wrong with the scope. Hmmmmm. He said I have swollen glands and I should see a doctor for an antibiotic. Hmmmmmm. I made an appointment and will go in this morning. My fever is gone now, and I think they will tell me I have had a viral flu and that there is nothing they can do for me. I get that part. Then I will tell them that my husband is in the hospital and I can't visit him until I am well. I wonder what they'll do?
