Bob's appointment went well. I am not very well.
I slept very soundly the whole time we drove, going and coming. I had bad bodyaches this morning and did not want to even get up.
Turns out my student got sick and went home from school today. With a low grade fever. Hey, guess what buddy? You shared it with me. I have a fever and have slept a lot since we got home about four hours ago.
I very seldom get sick unless he is as well.
I was scheduled to leave a half hour early tomorrow for a dental appointment. I hope to keep that and be enough better.

I took advantage of the time off and slept a lot.

I did go to my cleaning as it was at the end of the day today, and my fever had gone away.

I was fever free today, but still slept extra. I went for my dental cleaning since I was fever free.

Yes, I have contact exposure. Just the nature of how to care for my kiddo at school. He is often reaching out and patting me to make sure I am still there. He has some vision impairment.

I hope you feel better tomorrow, Heather. I hope your husband doesn't catch it, too!

I get sick because of close contact, holding, lifting, etc. Bob seems to stay healthy. He did sleep in until after 9 this morning, though, and that may just be what he needed.

Sleeping in would be wonderful, I am glad he was able to. I hope you are feeling better today.

I think you should reschedule the appointment. You probably won't be feeling well by tomorrow and even if you are, you may still be contagious and you don't want to get the dentist sick. I hope you are not planning to go to school tomorrow. It sounds like you are, and you really shouldn't.

I stayed home today. It seems there is a bit of epidemic going on. We got reminders in e mail about keeping kids home if they are not fever free. The extra sleep Wednesday and today did me a lot of good. I had been fever free all day so went for my dental cleaning.

Rest as much as you can and don't be afraid to reschedule if you have to.

The appointment was at the end of the day today and I had lots of extra sleep yesterday and this morning. I never got any stomach symptoms that I was afraid I might. Kiddo was sent home yesterday with a low grade fever and diarrhea, but I was not at school. Lead teacher texted me.

In the past I would have "pushed through" but I have the sick days available so I am taking them.

Just so incredibly sleepy, and hot yesterday. Today was much better.

I always caught everything the kids in Pretty's class(es) had. She rarely got sick but brought it home to me.
I hope you feel better quickly!
I have a doctor appointment tomorrow afternoon. My eyes are swollen almost closed and I'm hoping the swelling goes down enough that I can see to drive by then. It's supposed to be raining all day tomorrow (100% chance.) and I don't want to have to walk in the rain.

We had rain, you probably did as well. I keep wanting to come up with suggestions for your eyes but I am sure you have tried everything and that would be presumptuous of me.

@GardenGerty It was storming most of the day here. I didn't make it to my doctor appointment. I couldn't see so we couldn't drive to the appointment and with the lightning, we didn't want to try walking.
You're welcome to give suggestions, but you're right, we and the doctors have tried everything anyone could think of... Since it's Graves' Disease, there's not much that can be done.

I just felt awfully tired. I was afraid I would have some stomach symptoms but aside from discomfort I did not.

Since I chose to take the extra time off I think I missed the worst part.
