Kristi has been very sick

Everything started a little over a week ago. I had a lymph node swell up on the side of my neck to the size of a golf ball, and it HURT!! Thursday, after about a week, it was no longer noticeable.

Saturday I woke up with the worst heartburn I have ever had, and it wouldn't go away. (No matter how many TUMS I ate) Then at work I broke out in a drenching sweat, threw up, and by the end of the night my whole body hurt. This wasn't like any pain I have ever had, it was worse. It hurt to walk, to bend, let alone carry trays and to wait on tables trying to not let them know anything was wrong. I had to look like I hurt really bad because I made some really great tips that night. When Sean came to get me that night, it took all I had to make it to the car. He had no idea I was that bad until I sat down in the car and just started crying. When we got home he took my shoes off and I had no ankles and my legs and feet were very swollen.

I went to the clinic that Monday and saw the Nurse Practitioner, Howard, he was great. Since I had not had a period in over 3 months he had me do both types of pregnancy tests. That was it, I have to wait on the results and that could take up to a week. However, if I am not pregnant, I will have to go back and have them do a complete workup.
