Man, there is a mean virus out there and it’s been whipping through my family for the last week.
My one daughter got it first last Sunday and she’s still not 100% a full 8 days later. Her fever got up to 104.5 and she had pneumonia and has been on antibiotics and nebulizer treatment.
My other daughter has been mostly fine except for a nagging cough though she had a slight fever last night.
The baby has had a horrible cough and he is also on the nebulizer.
I’ve had a fever, cough, congestion, and that “just got hit by a truck” feeling since Thursday. Today’s the first day I’m not glued to the couch and I’m still far from 100 percent. My head feels like it is 10 feet underwater and I barely have any voice at all.
All together I had 3 copays to pay for doctor visits for me and 2 of my kids (so far…we’ll see if my wife and other daughter make it through). Plus there were more copays for the prescriptions as well as a couple of over the counter items. All in all I’m out about $150 because of this lousy virus.
I know it would be a lot worse if it weren’t for insurance, but geez.
