Strep test was negative and I decided not to do a flu test since I'm not taking tamiflu. The doctor thinks it is either a plain old virus or there's a slim possibility it is Influenza B, but she didn't think so because of my symptoms (or lack thereof). She also said there is a possibility it is viral mono - let's hope that is NOT the case!  So, I decided I'm not going to the games this weekend which are away. I hate missing, but first, I don't want to spread my germs. Second, I don't have to be anywhere else this weekend so it is a perfect time to stay home and rest up. Unfortunately, I feel horribly guilty about this but I KNOW it is the right decision. I'm not sure why it is so hard for me to stay home when my head knows it is the right decision.  I would tell anyone else the same thing and mean it!  |

(((hugs))) I'm glad it's not strep. I hope that you can get the rest you need and be feeling better soon. It is OKAY not to go to every single game. I promise.  |

DO NOT FEEL GUILTY!
You are doing the right thing for YOU and ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU!!
You will get better quicker if you rest and take care of yourself!

I agree. Do not give it another thought. Stay home and take care of yourself.  |

Get well soon - resting as much as you need to in order to do so (and stop thinking you have to keep going bc you're super woman. Even she's allowed a rest every now and then  ) x |

That's good that it's not strep throat.
Hopefully, with your weekend to rest, you'll feel good as new, in no time.
I don't know why we women are always so hard on ourselves.
We must take care of ourselves in order to be able to take care of the family.
Why do we like to feel guilty for putting ourselves on the list? Satan is such a manipulator.
One thing that I've noticed with older boys is that, most of the things that I get hung-up on, really don't matter to them, as much as they matter to me.
I understand though...if my boy is on the field, I want to be there to see him play.
Maybe try to reprogram your mind to just thank God for the time off to get well more quickly.
