Now I'm Sick!
Friday, January 13, 2006
What else is gonna go wrong?!?!?!
In addition to being down in the dumps (as you'll read in the post immediately below), now I'm sick as a fucking dawg!
On Wednesday nite, I developed a tickle in my throat. No biggie, right?
Then yesterday, I started a full fledge cough, but that’s it. I did not feel bad or anything. No sniffles, headache, sore throat, or any of those yucky things.
Well, last night before I went to bed, I started to feel bad and I was really warm. I took my temp and it was 99.4, which is border line normal for me.
Low and behold, I woke up this morning feeling like I had been in a train wreck!
I was hot, had a hacking cough (the kind that makes your chest HURT)!!! I feel like my chest is going to cave in!
I also had a stopped up nose, and just not feeling to good. I took my temp again. At this point it was 100.4. I like oh gawd! This is likely something a little more serious than a cold , because with the common cold , there is rarely a fever present in adults.
I said to myself, if I had not just started a new job last month I would call in, but being the DEDICATED EMPLOYEE that I am, I got ready and
went in anyway. I took some medicine and started to feel a little better but knew I would not make it through the day!I talked to my boss @ 11am or so and told her how I was feeling and she told me to just go home. So @ 11:30 that’s what I did.
On the way home I stopped by the drug store to get me some Mucinex and other drugs. I came home and got my ass in the bed and went to sleep.
I'm thinking that it might be bronchitis or something based on my symptoms.
Yes, I'm always diagnosing myself, which is not something I recommend, LOL. I just do it because I have a strong public health and medical background and because I'm slightly crazy (smile). I also call the Pharmacist (my mom) and my sister Accomplice the nursie for advice.
Please do not try this at home!
My sister says that it is most likely the flu! So I'm like GREAT!!!!!
I just woke up at about 4:30 (still warm) so I took my temp again, this time it was 101.7 and I ws feeling horrible.
I’ve taken my meds, so I feel a little better now, but definitely not my best. I'm having hot and cold flashes. But my temp is down to 100.6 now, so its slowly coming down....I guess!!!
My sisters is going to bring me some juice. One is coming today and the other one is going to stop by tomorrow. Isn’t that just too sweet?!?!? I love those gals.
Anyhoo, as you can see I must have a serious addiction to bloggin to get on here and type this post, which was supposed to be very short by the way (smile).
Please pray for me. I have not felt this sick in a very long time. I guess I should have gotten a flu shot, huh?
Oh well, until the next time, yall be good and I'm going to BED!!!!

Awww man! That sounds awful and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.(well maybe my very worst) I hope you get to feeling better real quick. Remember, lots of rest, liquids and a little bourbon wouldn't kill ya either! LOL
LOL....Girl you are crazy! When I was a kid my grands actually would make this lemon, whiskey, honey, and pepperment concoction, hahahaha. I would always feel better and sleep like a baby after it. I was delish!!!!
Thanks homie!
Thanks homie!
I am so sorry to hear that....take care of yourself, But that blanket tight.
I meant pull that blanket tight...and you need to whip up that whiskey drink and sweat that illness right on out! LOL
Nic, I've got it too!! Hope ya feel better. Im taking my azz back to bed...electric blanket and theraflu here I come...
Lady Nay Thanks girl. That whiskey is sounding more and more like a good idea ;-)
Supa Sista I’m sorry that you are not feeling well either. This sucks! It seems to be really going around though.
I just got off the phone with my mom (the pharmacist) and she said that if I get any worse that I need to call the doctor tomorrow or go to the urgent care. She says that it sounds like bronchitis to. I don’t feel well enough to go to the doc and sit in there. Let alone the drive. OMG!
I have no energy for that!!!! But I guess I need to do what moms says right?
I know, I know… Listen to your mother. She also said that I need to be eating some type of chicken soup. I heard that it is supposed to be really good for you, but I don’t like soup. I guess I’ll do anything to stop feeling like this. So tomorrow soup it is. For tonight, its veggie lasagna!

I'm a chronic self diagnoser too. The internet is my "doctor" of choice. I think my real Doctor thinks I'm crazy because of it. Don't forget to take some Vitamin C and Zinc too. Feel better soon!
Thanks guys!

Aww.. Hope you are feeling better! The flu SUCKS. (knock on wood) I've never personally had the flu, but my oldest daughter did last year and I was home w/her for SEVEN days! At the end, we were about ready to kill eachother.
