I was on call this week and unfortunately got sick--I had a cough, runny nose and chills and felt sore all over and incredibly fatigued. It was all I could do to power through work and go home and fall asleep. I couldn't even eat dinner or take care of the kids--DH took care of everything. I called my OB's office to see if I could come in and get tested for the flu (even though I had already gotten the flu shot this year) since the rest of my family had all gotten sick in the last couple of weeks and one of my patients had tested positive for the flu. But they didn't want me to come to the OB office if I was sick and scheduled me to see my primary doctor instead, who called me and told me not to come either since they are not doing testing and that he was just going to put in a prescription for Tamiflu since I am pregnant and higher risk for complications if I have the flu. So I started it and wow, I felt amazingly better within 12 hours. Like Lazarus! So I'll never know for sure, but I think maybe I really did have the flu. So glad I'm better now, because you know all those stories about pregnant women dying or miscarrying when they have the flu. We're pretty sure DD got H1N1 when I was pregnant with DS (she had fevers to 105) and that was the first year of the swine flu scare...she had only had 1 of the 2 shots for H1N1 when she came down with it. So I ended up on prophylactic Tamiflu back then too. The flu is really scary...so our whole family gets shots every year!
Anyways, since I was feeling sick and chilled, I went with a "sick FFBO" to keep me warm and comfy...grey cardigan, burgundy skinnies, and ballet flats (because I don't have any flat booties). I just swapped out the shirt, flats, purse and necklace each day. I felt much better today but stuck with the formula. Here are three variations...which do you like best?
