Never say never...

Well, I spoke too soon!  Over the weekend my hubby and I went on a little shopping trip to Cool Springs.  It was so nice just to relax and get some early Christmas shopping done.  I was not feeling so hot when I woke up that morning but I had a sinus funk going on so I didn't pay to much attention to it.  Well by the time we sat down for dinner, at J. Alexander's mind you, I had a severely painful sore throat and chills like crazy.  Once we got home, I immediately got into my pj's and snuggled down in my bed.  My hubby came up and took my temperature and well it was 102.  I knew I didn't feel good but I took some medicine and just went to sleep.  I woke up every hour with a rush of heat or chills all down my back.  When 8:00 o'clock rolled around, I decided it was time to get up and go to the doctor.  My hubby drove us there and while we were waiting I kept telling him "I know they are going to give me a strep test but I never have strep...I hate that test!"  Well sure enough we get in the room and they give me both the strep and flu tests. (Both are VERY unpleasant, BTW.)  The nurse left the room and I told my husband "I probably have the stinkin' flu.  I know I don't have strep because I have never had that.  My brothers used to pass it back and forth when we were younger and I never got it."  Needless to say, I spoke too soon.  The doctor came in and said "well it is clear as day, you have strep throat."  I could not believe it!  So now I am slowly recovering and have had the past two days off to recuperate.  Tomorrow may be difficult but hey at least it will only be a three day week for me!  :)
