Is it the swine flu?

Where to begin.   Cody caught SOMETHING on Monday.  Guess hes not gonna make it to my next treatment (Tuesday).  Naturally, I start disinfecting everything in our apartment.  I find myself so paranoid not to get sick.  I'm using lysol wipes immediately after he touches something.  Crazy?  I think not.  While me and my dad go to my treatment, Cody packs up and heads to his parents house to get over the bug he'd gotten.

Now the day after chemo (and my flu shot!), my mom comes over to keep me company... and sure enough (cough cough!)  SHIT!

They say if your temperature reaches 100.5 or higher, call immediately.  Mom stayed over to make sure I was ok, and it was necessary for her to do so.  I no sooner woke her up at 630am with a fever of 100.6.  Please god help me avoid hospitalization!  She hops on the phone, could it be the swine flu?

Swine flu symptoms:
Fatigue - Hard to say considering I JUST had chemo, whether or not the fatigue is a symptom of H1N1
Dizziness when standing - Nope
Cough - I've got a horrible cough..  its the first symptom I had.
Fever - Yikes!  I hit 100.8

A little tamiflu here, antibiotics there, and tylenol every 6 hours to keep the fever at bay.  Moms are the best at taking care of their sick children.  Mom went grocery shopping, made me soup, bought a humidifier, did my laundry, disinfected everything again...  I love my mom!

Codys fever broke, and we had to wait 24hours after his fever broke for him to come home.  He got home last night, I was soo happy to see him.

My fever peaked again last night, but dropped this morning.  So now I just feel like i've gotten a nasty cold.  But i'm semi functional.  Thanking god I didnt have to go to the hospital, i've heard horror stories of being stuck there for days.

I've finished cycle 2!  Slowly but surely, i'm getting through this nightmare.
