And almost on the heals of that last post, down I went with the flu. It started with a sore throat. I paid it no mind cos I know my sinuses had been irritated in the morning at that Red Cross yard sale… but by the time bedtime rolled around, I knew something was up cos I started to feel icky too .. icky meaning, achy and just … ick!
So said, so done – I woke up at about 3am with THE worst pain I can remember. Man! That shit hurt. And it hurt ALL day Sunday. It wasn’t until way later in the day on Sunday that it hit me – damn! This is a fever. So out came my thermometer and as suspected, I was running an elevated temperature … something over 100 degrees. (in fact, I seem to remember 100.7 … but things were a bit hazy). So I bundled up and crawled back under the blanket and sweated that puppy out like a pro. By the time hubby came to bed in the wee hours, the fever had broken and I was just weak as a newborn.
Not the end of it however, cos ever tho I was still weak on Monday and much better on Tuesday … come yesterday morning and I was stuffy and coughy and phlegmy. I had to beg hubby to go get me some cough syrup yesterday afternoon – I was so stopped up, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I was near to puking so often, I actually started entertaining the idea of just allowing it come up just so I could feel better.
But the valiant emetophobe in me won out anyway and not only was I able to keep my lunch and dinner, but I was able to heal a Karazhan run too .. but that was about it, cos I had to go pass out in bed soon after that.
This morning, I am still stopped up – like there’s still a lot of stuff in my head and chest, but I can breathe MUCH better. I just wish I wasn’t so damn dizzy.
/sigh
I am so tired of being sick now … can I be better? NOW?
