Contact issues

Wes left work early today because he's having "contact issues" and it caused him to have a "screaming headache".

He said he was 90% better with his upper respiratory infection problems he' s been dealing with for the last 3 weeks.

So now the entertaining illnesses like "contact issues" can commence!

Is this a competition?

So Wes is STILL sick....yes we are heading to the end of week 3 of this same illness. Our kids are getting over it too. The only one who has dodged it all has been me....until now.

I woke up this morning with a sore throat which I originally chalked up to the dryness of the air but it hasn't gone away.

Wes keeps asking me what's wrong and I keep saying "I don't feel good." And he keeps saying "I don't feel good either" and then proceeds to tell me how awful he feels. 

I finally asked "Is this a competition for who's the sickest?" He said "No, I was just letting you know I know what it feels like."

Uh, thanks.

Another early day for Wes

Wes left work early again.  Our kids' swim lessons start tonight.  Fortunately (?), one of the kids is sick too so at least it evens out that one of the kids won't have to miss out on swim lessons because of Wes.

My house is turning into a plague nest.

Our kids are sick

Both of our kids woke up sick this morning.  I think just a cold so nothing super gross.  The babysitter was still willing to watch them.  So I called Wes on my way to work to tell him.  His response?  "Well, I'm really sick."  Thanks, Wes.  Thanks.

Home sick from work

Wes went home sick from work.  I guess he now has a sinus headache and couldn't think straight.

I have a strong suspicion that I'll get home and he'll have a PS4 controller in his hand since the new Destiny expansion came out.

Anyone want to take bets on whether or not Wes calls in sick or comes home early tomorrow on the day that every single Destiny player is finding an excuse not to go to work?

Insomnia

Now, Wes has insomnia and "it must be a side effect from his medicine." It, of course, has nothing to do with him sleeping 20 hours a day every day since Friday.

Don't worry, folks

Wes is still feeling awful. He said he's feeling better but still feels awful and is exhausted.

Ugh!

So now that Wes is on "real" medicine, he's been coughing all night. Wes told me last night that the Dr told him he needed to get a lot of rest and should be feeling better by Monday.

Just in time for me to go back to work. 

Thanks, doc.

He's actually sick

Dr confirmed he has a severe respiratory infection. He's now waiting for meds from the pharmacy.

Home

Home from vacation. Wes still "feels awful". Since he's now been taking cold medicine for a week, I told him he needs to make an appointment for tomorrow to make sure it's nothing worse than a cold.

The walk-in Dr is available until 8 though so I might push him out the door to go now.

Still sick on vacation

Wes still has a cold and his head is still "killing" him. At least we are only 4 hours from home and will be there tomorrow.

Still sick on vacation

Wes still feels awful. Today his sore throat is extremely obvious though. I'll actually feel semi sorry for him because he is actually taking cold medicine to try to suppress his symptoms.

Vacation blues

Wes is "exhausted" even though I drove the entire 12 hour trip over the two days. He at least stayed awake 99% of the time.

But today, he's got a sore throat and a headache and his neck hurts. It's a trifecta of pain!

Vacation

Wes and I both slept horribly on our first night of vacation. We just don't do well sleeping in the same room as our children.

Anyway, we have to start the next leg of our trip early in the morning.

Wes got 3 hours of downtime where he took a nap because of his horrible headache. He swears he only slept 45 minutes max.

I spent the next moments of downtime loading up the car and inventorying our stuff to make sure we didn't leave anything behind.

Priorities.

It's Tuesday so you know what that means.....

.....Wes is sick.

Currently, no diagnosis.  Just what little info sent in a text:

"Laying down feeling a bit sick."

So we'll see if a "bit" sick takes a turn for the worse later.

August Recap!

So, here is just something I slapped together in Word.  Keep in mind, I started this blog on August 7th so the complete month isn't accounted for.  I blocked off all the dates that something was wrong with Wes.
