Nothing like a good fever to keep a person down. This is the third cold/fever I have had in three weeks. I just get over one, and get to feeling human again and another one pops up. The funny part is I almost think its the same illness. Same symptoms, same crappy feeling...and maybe it just never completely goes away?
I really want just to hibernate. But the virus has other ideas.
To defeat the body aches, muscle stiffness, and the feeling that I am living in some sub zero alternate universe, I piled on three blankets. To which the virus replied "Bahahahaha....you'll have to come out of your cocoon to pee about a thousand times tonight." I must have woken up every two hours to pee.
To try and feel better, I am taking mega amounts of vitamin C, but the virus says "That'll cost you...it will sting your sore, swollen throat and make you feel like vomiting because your stomach is full of sinus drainage."
To try and get the fever down, I took an Aleve, a fever reducer so that maybe I can handle a day at work. But, the virus has replied with a headache. I am still going to try to go to work. I may be home early, we'll see. I'm trying to repopulate my sick days, which isn't easy, considering.
One of my cousins assures me that this is exactly how she ended up in the hospital with bronchitis that the doctors thought was turning into pneumonia. Great. Just what I need. I really hope I can beat this thing. I don't even have a doctor.
