Warning: I have a feeling this post won't be very mature or coherent, I just need to vent.
WHY?!
Why the hell have I gotten sick three times in the last 6 months? I started walking last fall so I've started to take better care of myself, I got my freaking flu shot two years in a row, and we got a dishwasher so we make sure all of our dishes are clean and free of germs. Could it be the stress? All the freaking stress?? Ugh my mom being sick and a few other things have really gotten me down over the last year, but is that really the only cause?
My mom got news last week that her leukemia was spreading quickly again. This means that the chemo worked, but not for long, and she'd have to get back on chemo as soon as possible. I knew she would be starting another round soon, so I'm not entirely sure why it was such a panic other than the leukemia was spreading (isn't it always spreading though? I don't know why this round was different...). Anyway, they told her she would have to do out-patient chemo with a different drug (one that she has done in-patient before) starting last Thursday I believe. But then she got a call that she had to go to the hospital to get a brand new chemo drug (don't know if it's brand new to the world, but its one that she hasn't gotten before) to see if it can get rid of the leukemia long enough to get her transplant. I'm not sure of the time line at the moment, but she did go back to the hospital today.
Please, please, please, keep her in your thoughts. Please?
Anyway, I stayed home from work today and slept and took pills and drank water and tea like crazy. I planned on going back to work tomorrow but it'll depend on the level of pain in my head and throat. I'm sure I caught this crap because my coworkers find it necessary to go to work sick to prove their loyalty or something and I just don't see it that way. STAY HOME WHEN YOU ARE SICK.

Parents like to send children to school sick too. That way the other 28 kid can also get sick. And the teacher.
