I have a fever - 99.7. I guess I'm so high from the pain meds for the muscle aches that I didn't notice quite how awful I feel.
I'm scared and afraid to tell anyone. All mom and dad do is to tell me to take Airborne (which does nothing for me). The doctors all just blow you off & don't ever think a low grade fever is anything (uh... steroids mask a higher fever). And this is exactly how the encephalitis started. The flu is going around and I was around a big group for Zoe's "reconciliation retreat" (mandatory) for her first communion. I had a bad feeling about that. I should have worn a mask.
Mostly I'm just mad that I have to cancel 2 gym appointments tomorrow. A followup with my nutrition coach and a training session. I refuse to give in to this. I need to remain determined to be fit.
Posted by debutaunt at February 18, 2008 08:07 PMDon't let the temporary things deter you from the lasting things and don't let the diversion get you down either. You'll find the path toward better health, strength and uma-uber-fitness is still there for you once these little bugger-germs are conquered.
My version of remedy: chicken noodle soup, copious amounts of fluides (including Emergen-C) and extra sleep by whatever means you can get it.
Posted by: Bren/Cody'sMom at February 18, 2008 08:46 PMYou told "us" I hope you are not getting the flu,
and feel better soon.
I do understand why you are "afraid". But think of that bird talking daughter of yours.
Deb - I am praying for peace and strength for you right now. Please rest and take good care of yourself and see a doctor if you feel worse tomorrow. If that doctor doesn't listen see a different one . . . and so on. I think you are going to be just fine but will continue praying for you as I do every day. Big hugs

Hope its just a cold. Thinking of you
