Dividing the gift money - how did you do it?

I have tonsilitis - and apparently, a heart murmur. :-(

    So it's six weeks until the wedding, and I've been feeling like crud for a few days.  Yesterday I totally lost my voice, so I finally dragged myself into an urgent care place.  Turns out I have tonsilitis (seriously, I thought only kids got that!) - and in the meantime, the doctor also told me I have a heart murmur.  So now in between doing everything for the wedding (not to mention working and taking care of my daughter), I have to go figure out what's wrong with my heart.  :-(  Hopefully it's nothing - I know a lot of people have murmurs and it's not a big deal.  But it's kind of the last thing I wanted to deal with right now!

    Feel better... Lots of people have murmurs when they are sick because of dehydration or other issues.  Hopefully it will just go away when you are better.  Don't worry about it, but just get it checked out, ok?

    Yikes, lots of good thoughts headed your way! One of my closest friends has a heart murmer...not sure what the condition is but basically she takes pills when it acts up and she's good to go. Do you think added stress of last minute wedding details are making your heart flutter with anxiety....?

    I hope that you start to feel better.  The heart murmur might just be because of stress with your wedding coming up.

    Feel better! Are you getting your tonsils out? Bummer!

    I'm sure its just thanks to stress, but get your murmer checked out anyway (that sounds like a euphemism for something else! Ha!) just in case! Good luck and let us know how it goes!

    Aw feel better! Hopefully everything turns out to be okay. I know how you feel about the tonsilitis, I had it 7 times in one year when I was 20 and strep throat 3 times. I had to get my tonsils taken out, no fun for adults. There were kids who were in and out of the hospital before I was! Make sure to get lots of rest! I know its hard with the wedding so close and a daughter to take care of but still try!

    Aww hun my heart goes out to you! The heart murmer may totally be nothing to worry about in all seriousness. Just keep an eye on it - these things often work out (as well as high blood pressure when you're sick and rashes and temperatures).

    Get some rest and just take things slowly. It'll all work out! Keep us updated on your progress!!

    Feel better.  I hope the heart murmur ends up being nothing serious.

    Don't eat too much ice cream!  :p  I'm going to agree with missasb, it could be stress.

    Either way, feel better!

    Thanks for everyone's good wishes.  My tonsils are much better (thanks to the antibiotics), and I have an appointment with my regular doc tomorrow re: the heart murmur.  So hopefully it's nothing.  :-)  (Keep your fingers crossed).
