Let's cross our fingers vinehumpers... I think I'm getting better. I still have a slight cough. But I think that the fever finally broke, (again) last night. I've had serious issues with temperature control.
Like a perverse Mr Miyagi:
Clothes on
Clothes off
Clothes on
Clothes off
I didn't sleep as well as I would have liked last night. I had to get up in the middle of the night and change from sweating like a racehorse. Ugh. So, I called in today. I hate getting a cold during the holiday season. Money's always tighter around those times. I'd rather have a summer cold.
But, I am happy to be getting better. In the past week I've gone through a five rolls of TP for this damn runny nose, and today, it seems (blessedly) it has signifigantly diminished.
So, I stayed home again today ( as I said) So that I could further encourage the healing process. I am going to try and go for a walk today. If the weather isn't too cold. Just a five-ten minute walk, very liesurely paced. Just to get some fresh air going. Besides, I'm sure the people at work would be less than amused by the whole 'clothes on' 'clothes off' thing. Oh well.
I feel quite relieved that this seems to be lifting. I had a fear that it would develop into pnuemonia as it seemed very similar to the symptoms. Every time I woke up sweating so bad that I had to change and change the bedding was frighteningly reminiscent.
So, today, I can look forward to boiling water, hot tea, garlic, water, fresh organic oranges, rice with redstar, and a protein shake with vanilla rice milk.
So relieved.
glad to hear it hawk.
i am just now starting my way through the joys of 'da flu'. had a debilitating/seziure-ish fever one night..sharp hacking cough the next and now on to the river of mucus. right before i leave too...grrr.
i broke down and had the doctor call me in some antibiotics....i never go to the doctor. just for the female check-up and teeth cleaning. i just dont want to be sick when we leave next weekend. i will usually suffer through a months worth of symptoms just so i dont have to go to the doctor.
