feber - number two

I've had a low grade fever since Friday. The other day I felt like I had the flu, but have no other symptoms.

Right now, I just don't feel like eating, but know I need too. I'm also craving a big ol' salad, but am not allowed to have fresh fruits and veggies (because of the bacteria risk).

I'm doing ok. I have a few doctor appointments tomorrow, so we shall see. Hopefully they won't have to admit me because I set aside stuff to pack just in case, but who knows how long I'd be in for.

Please pray to the fever gods to let me go. They don't need me. Fevers scare the crap out of me after that last time.

I am going to get over this. I know it. I'm just glad I don't feel too horrible.

Anyone know how to contact Uma Thurman. I want to write her about my chemo and how she inspires me. I like the roles she takes. I especially like the badass roles she takes.

Hope today is a good one for you all.

Your assignment (again) is to go eat a great salad for lunch or dinner. Either that or some strawberries or grapes or other fresh fruit (I can only eat things like bananas, oranges, or things with a "cover" on them). Enjoy some real dressing, not that yuck stuff, and use just enough to bring out your salad's great taste. One of my favorites is the Pappasitos Salad - with fajita meat and lots of great stuff in them. And then a creamy jalepeno or avacado ranch dressing. I also dig the salad at Cali Pizza kitchen - the BBQ chicken salad.

Mmmm.... yummy!

I can do this.

you can do this, you ARE doing this.

If I could send you the freshness of this day I would. Think snow and banish the fever.

Go Deb, go - chop that old fever in bits like the chopped salad at CPK. YUM.

We will do a taco salad tonight in your honor. Lots of fresh greens and home-grown herbs, and a couple of PITIFUL tomatoes from Kroger.

Cheers!

This is the information for Uma's publicist. I bet you could write to her care of him. Can you tell I was bored at work today? Hope your fever goes away soon and you get to feeling better. BTW I ate an apple today and had a huge salad last night. Also everytime I see the commercial for the toilet bowl cleaner with the chick acting like Uma in Kill Bill I think of you.

(Oops - clicked too quick!) Hope you're feeling better and can kick the fever!

I know what you mean as soon as they tell you can't have something you crave it even more. I just got off that fun little "no fresh fruit or veggies" trip today and enjoyed a great ceasar salad, it was great! You'll get one soon I know it.

Yo F.O.Ds (friends o Debu),

FYI.

She went back to the hospital tonight and they admitted her because they wanted to find out the cause of the fever.

So send some Uma vibes her way and some prayers.

She can do this.
