Not a Pretty Sight

So we are almost back in Calgary after 9 wonderful days of traveling (+ 1 not so great day). Luckily the not so great day was today...at the very end of the trip and didn't ruin any of the great times had previously. Before I tell what happened this morning I will assure everyone that I am fine and my little episode was not cancer related, but the flu. I woke up very early this morning feeling very nauseous and with a not so fun case of the runs (sorry I share all the details!) About every hour for four hours I was getting up running to the washroom and getting pretty sick. Each time after I was sick I got the sweats and then got really cold quickly. The second time I even passed out for a few seconds as I got really dizzy. I remember thinking as I was sitting in front of the toilet that I wanted to lie down, and the next thing I remember was Wes running into the bathroom having to wake me up in the tub. I don't think I fell into the tub, but I think I did hit my head on the soap dispenser while laying there. Lets just say I was not in very pretty condition when he came in. It is amazing how comfortable you have to get with someone when you are sick....they see you at your absolute worst. After being sick a few more times I decided that it would be a good plan to go to the emergency room (we were luckily staying in a hotel that night, not camping). 6 am is a great time to visit emerge as it was very quiet and empty. They got me in right away, started pumping me full of fluids and did some tests. All the tests came back good and since I have never had any really problems with chemo, the doctor was pretty sure it was just a bug (that and the fact that about 4 days ago Wes was also sick). No more kissing when he is sick:) Now it has been about 12 hours since I went to the hospital and I am feeling pretty good. My body feels pretty drained but the stomach seems to be settled. Tomorrow I have a couple of important appointments, including seeing the surgeon who first diagnosed me 3 and a half months ago. I am very interested in hearing what he has to say about my surgery options.
