Sick. Sick. Sick.

Hello loyal readers.  I am really sorry for it must seem like I have abandoned you, fear not!  It was not of my choice!  I was locked up and under a hideous spell of a nasty flu virus and sinus infection, both of which still plague me, but after four days I have fought off their most dangerous restraints and am on my way of becoming victourious.  Their nastiest of spells had left me bed ridden for the last three days with a fever of 101F.  Not fun.  The chills that accompany them are cruel as you feel you will never be warm again but I was informed my skin was scalding.  I couldn’t move, I had to sit and rest at the bottom of the stairs anytime I went for a drink from the kitchen, one flight was draining.  Thanks to my antibiotic, the sinus infection is losing it’s battle and my head no longer feels like it weighs 500 pounds.  I am the Kleenex queen!  … still.  Oh and lets not forget my throat in all it’s mucusy glory, now has me sounding like a 90 year old man who has chained smoked all his life; sexy, I know.  I do however; still have a ragged cough which has pulled all of my stomach muscles.  Coughing now hurts not only my throat, but my stomach feels as if I am being ripped open by a knife.  At least a cough you can sort of feel it coming on and you can brace yourself and hold your stomach.  Sneezing is the worst as sometimes those little bastards come on by surprise and result in agony from the Ahh to the Choo. 

Woe is me.

I made it through last night with a full night’s sleep which leads me to believe that the fever has finally broken!  Ah ha!  Success! 

I have dropped 3 pounds as I had zero appetite but kept forcing myself to drink as my doctor said I had to stay hydrated.  I also like to picture my body's little anti-bodies, refueling to take charge against the battle of the germs, burning my resources.  Lucky for them I have lots of resources!!!  Not the way I would like to choose a weight loss but I will take what I can get.  I am starting to be able to taste again so look out food, here I come!

I was going to miss hockey this week as they do not have a game scheduled this weekend, but now I don’t mind as I would have had to miss it regardless as I still get winded doing a flight of stairs so an hour hockey game would have been out of the question.  No wild Hallowe’en parties either, bah. 

Anyone have any exciting Hallowe’en plans this evening?
