Down for The count

Up and Ready for Round Two

Caught the flu either on the flight to Michigan or at my uncle's funeral.  Have had a week that is just sorta hazy right now.  Respiratory virus I am sure.  My sister who had this a few weeks ago was told it was a cold, not a flu, so the flu shot doesn't cover it.  Bummer.

I hate that I was stuck traveling, spewing virus everywhere I went.  I would have been sick at home or at work, so the sick part doesn't matter, but I hate possibly exposing people to this.  I ran high fevers Friday night after getting home, and all day Saturday, so sick I didn't want to move.  Today I am still very sick, but the fever is down some and I can breathe a little better.  I sincerely hope I have not given this to anyone else.  I tried to be SO careful, kept cleaning my hands with sanitizer, covering my mouth but I must have been a large bag of escaping viruses on Friday coming back on the plane.  Just hoping the lower respiratory part doesn't get worse that is where it seems to be stuck now.  Plenty dehydrated, trying to stock up on fluids having a hard time getting them down.

Had some unnecessary drama I won't go into here when I got home from the funeral.  That on top of traveling, on top of being sick, on top of being on my feet, on top of not being able to breathe, on top of having to drive drive drive makes me feel like I have been run over by a steamroller.  The IM phenergan did keep me from throwing up all through the central United States on a plane, but giving yourself those shots sure hurts!  I am getting tired of being everyone's solution to every crisis, but maybe that's because I'm SO DARNED SICK!  I guess I'm just whiney today. sigh.

At least I am at the spot in the cartoon where (after being run over by the steamroller) you come out pressed flat and pop back to three dimensions!!!  Woo Hoo!

I've Got A Fever


The Only Prescription is More Cowbell!!

Have been feeling really tired, sorta thought it was just my digestive issues, but found out yesterday I was running a fever, and I'm running one today. Going to my PCP to verify that its not contagious, but I think I have been running one for several days. My boss has a handicapped son who is very succeptible to flus and I would be horrified if I passed something around at work and it got his boy sick. I really need the money from working, but I'll feel much better in my heart if I make sure I can't pass anything along before I go to work knowing I have a fever. Have taken some acetaminophin and it felt like it dropped the fever substantially.

Dr. Bellyfixer said it could just be the pancreatitis, since the pancreas sorta eats itself with digestive enzymes and then your body has to absorb the damage which can lead to fever...or it could be another UTI, or it could just be nothing. The Belly is really complaining today as it didn't like being poked on by Dr. Bellyfixer. The Headache is better since I "retuned" the occipital stimulator.

Enjoy the long and short versions of the "Cowbell Skit" from SNL. The link More_Cowbell at the bottom leads you to the official long version. Wishing cowbells could make me better, but watching Will Ferrell playing the cowbell is the next best thing.
