Her throat and head was hurting but no fever yet so I sent her to school. Thanks for asking.
I really do not want to get sick because I still have to take care of everyone.

Huh...I had no idea we couldn't take Pepto-Bismol. Does that cause bleeding and ulcers like NSAID's?

I know right...my surgeon scared the shiz~nit out of me telling me why I cant take Pepto when I was just a few months out of RNY surgery. He was telling me I would end up getting my stomach cut open and all so I freaked out! Never touched the stuff since lol I am a big baby when it comes to stuff life that. lol
