A Week Stuck in the House

I came home from work on Tuesday 28Th of July , looking forward to spending time with my children , little did i know that i was going to be stuck in the  house for the next week.

I hadn’t felt well all day at work . I got home after picking the kids up from my Mom’s  and felt worst, my temperature kept going up , was really tired , and stomach cramps  and felt sick.

My husband said it may be swine flu joking , but With what was happening and me with my asthma i just didn’t want to risk it . Wednesday i felt worst just no energy and chasing after a 1 year old and 2 year old it was just has hard to do. Thursday i phoned my doctor’s and they ask what my sytoms were , when i told them they told me to phone the pandemic line .

Which at first i thought this cant be right so went on line to check my ,sytoms after a series of questions it then directed me to a page issuing me with a reference number to get a supply of the tamiflu.

still not sure i then called the pandemic line , and repeated everything to them , then told me it looks like the onsets on the swine flu and with my asthma they wanted me to start taking the tamifluto be on the safe side but also to stay in the house for 7 days and not to get in contact with anyone.

I told them i have felt like this since Tuesday and hadn’t been anywhere since coming home from work Tuesday, they said that great and to stay put . My husband became my prescription buddy, and went and fetched the tamiflu. Thursday night i took the first tablet, i don’t know what i expected but i didn’t feel any different , i think i was worried of the affects , because i have read that many things about it i just didn’t want any serious things to happen.

Any Way, The days went on and i started to get really fed up of being at home , if it weren’t for my face book chums i think i would have gone mad .

I haven’t had any problems or affects with the tablets, and Tuesday the 4th i took the last one . Wednesday was letting out day , and i was so pleased to get out , i mean i love my home and not being at work , but not loving my home that much that i need to stay in forever.

I think the affects of the tablets did kick in though when i went out , i was still really tried , and weak, and having hot flushes , but i did enjoy the day out .

All i can stay is if you do get the swine flu and end up stuck in door’s i do recommend a computer and lots of reading materials , it is gonna be a long week .
