more drugs, feeling better

My friend Wanda called tonight to make sure I was OK because I hadn't posted an update today.  Sorry I'm slow!  I am feeling a bit better today/tonight.  I could feel the fever back 7 hours after I took Ibuprofen this morning, so I called the pharmacy to see if there was a better fever reducer.  He said to just add Tylenol to the mix and that has helped tonight.  I take so many pills now, I had to write down a schedule for myself so I wouldn't get confused!  I did sound pretty gloomy yesterday, I felt pretty yucky!

A friend in our ward came this morning and picked up the 3 big kids to take them to play at her house, take them to a movie, lunch and back to her house to build gingerbread houses.  They were gone most of the day and had a fabulous time!  Thanks Alli!  Mat had to go do some bookkeeping for a client this morning, so Amy came over to care for the baby, and Holly came over to be with me.  I started taking a new antibiotic yesterday, a "general" one that will kill everything.  My doctors aren't sure where my infection might be hiding, this one should cover all the possibilities.  It makes me really loopy and light-headed, and I get to take it every 6 hours, so I didn't want to be alone.  Thanks guys!  Tonight Mat took the kids (baby went to grandma's) to This Is The Place for "Candlelight Christmas".  It is something we've planned on for a long time and I don't anyone sitting around being bored because I can't do anything, so I sent them without me.  They had a great time!  I am so glad we made the time for that.  Diana and Kari came to be with me so I wouldn't be alone.  I've known Diana since birth, so we all have a long history together.  We laughed so much, it was a hoot, just sitting around for 4 hours talking about everything possible.  Thanks guys!

I'm starting to go a little crazy, being stuck at home.  I love to have people come by and visit!  We've had lots of yummy treats delivered and even had two groups of carolers come by tonight!  And Eileen, my bread-making friend, brought over 4 fresh loaves!  Thanks to everyone who is keeping us well stocked.  If anyone out there needs a chocolate fix, I can set you up.  : )
