I think I have SARS (or the Bird Flu)
Well, I've been feeling sick since Monday. My body was really achey and at times I found it hard to focus on my computer screen. I decided I would go to bed early and try to beat this thing before I got really sick. I went into work again on Tuesday and still felt really achey, my throat was sore, and for some reason my gums were swollen, I don't know what's up with that. Tuesday evening I was sitting at my desk shivering I was so frickin' cold. So, I went to bed early again and wore a jacket to work which I didn't take off all day. I also noticed part way through the day that my right hand in between the knuckles of my pinky and ring finger was starting to hurt. This is probably more related to me developing carpal tunnel than SARS.
So, I got home Wednesday night after stopping at Walgreens to pick up NyQuil, vitamin C, DCT, and carmex (because I also have a cold sore that's driving me crazy). When I walked in the door I noticed there was a note from Marilynn. Marilynn is a woman that lives up the street and periodically cleans our house because my brother periodically helps her fix up her house. The note from Marilynn told me that Lexi had left a brown bag for me in the fridge that had chili, echinecea tea, orange juice, and water. Awesome!
So, I went to bed last night and periodically woke up because I was either freezing cold or sweating through my shirt because I was so hot (which get's really cold really quickly). I took the day off work to try to recover, then I went to Walgreens to get some Gatorade, tylenol, and a thermometer (because I know I have a fever but I don't know how high). How high? So high that I could touch the sky? How sick? Well, pretty frickin' sick. My fever is rockin' the charts at 101.2.
I'm going to the doctor in a couple hours, I'll let you know whether I have SARS or the Bird Flu.
