I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkk! Well - sort of.
First - I was totally stunned when I saw this thread. You are so kind to think of me! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!
Tooth pulled on the 5th and by the 14th I still felt terrible. I had been on Keflex for 8 days at that point and the doctor changed me to Levequim that Friday. Friday (14th) night I had the chills and then I could hardly make it up the stairs and another pound came off the scale - and not from dieting and working out. I had blood taken on that Friday. I finally had enough and told DH to take me to the ER. They found my blood taken the day before and the cultures were showing negative so far. The only thing that was out of wack on my blood count was a little elevation on my liver count. They took another blood sample for a full panel and the liver count was even lower on Saturday. SO - they decided to hydrate me via I.V. Took two bags. Sent me home and I dozed on the couch. Felt O.K. on Sunday but didn't do a thing but watch sports on T.V. I have been slowly improving since. I haven't been doing much either. Few loads of laundry and general staightening of the house - that is it.
They figure it was one of two things:
I may have had a virus festering the day I had the tooth pulled and the combo of the two sent my body into a tailspin.
OR - I did get a bacterial infection and the first antibiotic they gave me didn't kill it off but didn't let it get any worse. Kept it to a low grade level.
Today I decided to try and workout. I chose 10-10-10. My heart rate was up to 190 after the first 12 minutes. Holy Cow! I tried to make it through but couldn't finish the step portion. I had to sit down because I was dizzy. Then I did a section of ab hits and went back and did stretch. I think tomorrow I will do weights only. Maybe PP or ME. It is going to take another week or so to be back to 100%. I don't want to relapse. Maybe I can do the February rotation!!!!
Thanks again for all your thoughts! I feel I have a home here with all of you. IT IS SO COLD HERE TODAY!!!!! Nine degrees out. My son just walked the dog. It was a quick walk. I think we will be on the edge of the storm. It will be just south of us.
Take Care and chat soon.

Dawn, just take it easy girl. Flop all day & recover because that's what your body needs. That's kinda weird that a simple tooth pulling would do that to you, but if you're getting those messages from your body, you need to listen. You can catch up when you feel better & not a moment too soon. We'll be here waitin'on ya'!
