While Steve was in
Berlin, and I was alone with the kids... Emilie got the flu, then Maddie got the flu, and then I got the flu. It was awesome. A week that I will quickly try to erase from my memory! Nothing was sweeter than the sound of the front door opening when Steve got home...And- it was perfect timing. I just felt awful. I went in to see the doctor, and was sent home with the typical bronchitis diagnosis. But, the next day, I just felt like it wasn't bronchitis... so went to see another doctor. The new doctor looked again at my x-rays, took some more, and shyly said... "uh, you have pneumonia, not bronchitis. You were misdiagnosed."
When Steve was in business school, he learned about a study on overconfidence. Apparently, Harvard MBA's and doctors are so overconfident, that they are more likely to be wrong than right most of the time. And, doctors misdiagnose pneumonia about 90% of the time.
Seems intellectually interesting when you're in class, but when you're lying in your death bed... it's not so funny.
My first doctor forgot to check my side x-ray that showed all of the pneumonia (which couldn't be seen from the front view because it was blocked by my heart).Key point: don't always trust what people tell you (especially doctors and Harvard MBA's!!!). Always ask questions and trust your instincts.
So, anyway... our new favorite place is YOGURTLAND!!!
If you are a lover of tart yogurt, or sweet yogurt, or sugar or anything delicious (!!) .... this is your place. I LOVE IT. I think I've been to it 1-2 x each week for the past month.
You serve yourself... you serve the yogurt... and the treats. The only dangerous thing about this is obvious, but I keep going back for more because it is soooo good and only 108 calories and 0 grams of fat per 1/2 cup of yogurt!!!!Truly heaven in a cup.

Ugh, sickness-- I have never been sick so much as I was over the holidays. I was sick twice as much as Jackson because I am the mommy and not sleeping enough. I feel your pain! How do you recover from Pneumonia anyway? Do you get to stay in bed with out any interruptions from children? Is that how it works? lol
That yogurt land sounds great-- have you also tried Yogurt Works? We're going there for girls night, just wondering how they compare...
ARG! I hate flus.....Luckily, KNOCK ON SOME MAJOR WOOD, we have been flu free this year, and have had only ONE ROUND of colds. Yes, it's a total miracle. I'm glad you are better....right? You seemed healthy on Sunday. Well, we love Yogurtland, too, as you know. We went there the other night, and the kids got ginormous cup fulls while I was busy filling mine. What are you gonna do?
