Whoa
I’m very happy to report that I’m feeling a million times better today. I was pretty worried yesterday because I knew I couldn’t function with vertigo for long, but when you have it what choice do you have?
I also tried what Kisha suggested and skipped my prenatal vitamin. Guess what? No puking. Food still doesn’t appeal to me, but it was really nice to skip the vomit session.
Remember back in April when I wasn’t pregnant but thought I was? I was really confused because I was throwing up a lot. Guess what? I started taking prenatals as soon as the test turned up positive. Maybe that explains that little piece of the puzzle.
I took it easy today and didn’t do anything productive even though I promised myself that I was going to do at least three different fairly important things while Erik was at preschool. I didn’t even make it to the gym this morning because Erik got up so late. Bah! Plus, I was trying to take it easy so I didn’t really push things.
This afternoon I was all set to go get Erik an H1N1 vaccine at the local high school. I wish they would offer the vaccinations through the ped offices, but in our county they are offered exclusively through these clinics.
I knew it would be crazy busy so I arrived 45 minutes early thinking I would get a jump on things.
Holy hell, people! You’d think the swine flu was the equivalent of small pox, stuffed with AIDS with a nice, creamy polio center!
There were police everywhere, roads were closed down, the line was out the door, out of the high school property, down the sidewalk and winding all the way around the corner. I had just read in the paper that they only had 1000 vaccinations available. As I drove around trying to find a parking place I decided we were probably too late. I am not good at estimating numbers, so I could have been way off, but it was just insane.
As I was driving, I saw women with baby buggies RUNNING to try to find a place in line. Little kids were jerked around by their arms as their moms and dads tried to beat out the ladies with the buggies. I’ve never seen anything like it.
I am pretty sure Erik and I both had the swine flu this spring so I am not too worried. I drove away and will not be trying again next week. Yikes!
