May I recommend a flu shot!


This past week I learned a huge lesson that will change the way I prepare for the flu season. The flu shots that they often recommend that people ask their doctor about... GET ONE! Looking back on this week, I don't know if I remember a time where I have felt quite that awful. It was miserable and I was basically out of commission for an entire week. Who would have thought that one could actually get diagnosed with the flu. I honestly thought the flu was something that either meant one was throwing up like crazy or they were sick and didn't know what it was so they call it the flu. I never knew there was an actual test that the doctor gives you to determine if you have it.
The crazy thing about getting sick is that it always happens when life is the craziest. Honestly, between selling a house, looking for a house, future career decisions, work and beginning the softball season, getting sick was not something that fit into my day planner. I am just excited to be healthy and super thankful for amazing people that could help me out when I couldn't do it on my own.
