Back from Jamaica
I know it has taken me awhile to post since my return from Jamaica.
I do not know why my poor husband and I just can't catch a break, I must have horrible Karma!
We left our house on Friday afternoon to drive 5 hours to Atlanta to meet the in-laws. I could feel that I had a scratch throat but blew it off. I had my teeth cleaned the day before and thought maybe the dental hygenist may have jabbed something. Well we had to be up at 3am on Saturday morning and leave no later than 3:30am. I woke up at 2am, the sore throat was horrendous, I looked closer in the mirror, oh no, I had enlarged tonisls covered in lovely white spots, could it be strep throat. We proceeded to the airport and got checked in and to our gate by 4:30am the flight left at 6:50 better early than late right. I needed motrin and a drink and none of the stores opened until 5am. Oh My God, that was the longest 30 minutes of my life. I finally took 800 mg of Motrin and got a King Sized diet Coke from Burger King, I was set to go. The first part of the flight was good, but I was so tired and my throat was still hurting. We landed in Miami for a 2 hour layover, I started to run a fever and took more Motrin, it did allevate some of the pain. By the time we reached Jamaica, all I could do was sleep, we had a 2 hour bus ride to our hotel and I felt like someone had hit me with a car. We reached Sandals Resort in Ocho Rios and I felt a lot better, the sleep must have helped. We got all checked in and to our room and I slept again for 3 hours this time, I woke up in time for dinner which I forced down, having eaten nothing all day long. My husband finally convinced me to see the doctor since it was the beginning of our vacation and I would rather feel good 2 days in than sick for the whole 6. Well I went to the Nurse at the hotel and he called the doctor, seems I have strep throat and an Upper Resp. Infection. I was loaded up with antibiotics and decongestants and cough syrup. I woke up feeling better Sunday morning and the sun was shining so beautifully, we went to the pool and had tons of drinks at the swim up bar. Then made our way to the beach and rode those big bicycles that are in the water. Our vacation was off to an awesome start after the minor bumps. Then uh oh, it started to rain, we saw our last little bit of sun on Sunday and it did not shine again until after we left. But hey I felt better. We did have a great time, just being away from the kids was good enough, it was still hot and we hung out at the bar a lot and met a ton of really nice people which we hope to keep in contact with. So there you have it folks, my honeymoon update.
