Hey guys, hope all y'all had a good week. Tuesday after the last home game of the Real Salt Lake my throat was not feeling the greatest. I thought it was from the sour startburst I was chopping down on during the game. So I just went to bed not thinking anything, until I woke up in the middle of the night with my throat hurting. I was hoping that it would go away before the sun came up. I woke up before the sun to go to the gym, but my throat was still there. I warmed up some water and threw some salt in it and gurgled some of its salty goodness. My throat wasn't that sore after so I put on some gym attire and headed downstairs to get the hubby up and at it. While I was going down the stairs, I thought to myself the gym is crawling with germs. Your white blood cells (WBC) are really low, maybe you shouldn't go. I ended up getting back into bed til 7:20 am. I tried calling the clinic where my doctors are at, but I got no one. I fell right back to sleep til my husband came in to say goodbye. I tried calling again and got a hold of someone and they said they would give the message to a nurse and have them call me. I have a nurses cell phone number so I decided to text her and ask her what she thought. She told me it was up to me and how I was feeling. I felt fine all I had was a sore throat. Out like a light once again. I rolled over checked my phone and noticed it was 8:50 am, so I got my butt up to get ready for work. As I was getting ready my mother walks in and says how's your throat? It hurts a little, but I'm fine. Well, you're not going to work. I told her that I had already asked one of the nurses. We kind of butted heads for a minute. In the end, I called in and told my boss that I had a sore throat. I went to go see the doctors and get my blood check. They took me off my Valcyte (fighting virus drug), told me to take it easy and scheduled me to go back in 2 weeks. My blood work came back better than last time, my WBC was 3.4 rather than 2.9. I was up in the 8-9 normally. A normal adult ranges from 3.5-10.5 WBC. Almost there kind of :) Thursday I went back to work, after I was so tired. Friday was an okay day still pretty tired, but my throat was getting better. Still popping cough drops like crazy. Saturday morning we were off to Idaho Falls to go and get our stuff to move into our house. So happy to have our own place again. Spent the night and headed back today. Nose is a leaky faucet now and I'm coughing a little here and there, still going strong though!
