Current mood:

sick

ugh
I feel like I was hit by a truck. I lost my voice. My head is clogged. I have a smoker's cough. Lovely visual, right?
Thank goodness Phyllis is watching Ben today, as she does every Wednesday.My main concern now is caring for him when I'm sick. I still have to hold him, feed him, and burp him. i don't want to get him sick but there's nothing I can do. Rich got up with him last night (this is the first time in days he's gotten up in the middle of the night) so I could sleep. Ben's stuffy as well but otherwise fine.  This confused Ben to no end. I was smiling at him, and he was "talking" to me. When I spoke to him, he gave me this confused look. He didn't recognize my voice!
Meanwhile, I'm at work but can't alk to my patients. I'm going to go home early, get into bed, and relax. And not talk. Perhaps tomorrow I will feel better. Timing sucks. Ben has a series of repeat tests tomorrow, so of course, when I want to ask questions, I won't be able to.
