Recovery
I don't think I have ever been so sick as I was this weekend. I got some sort of flu bug from my son and was flat on my back miserable with fever, body aches, sore throat and severe headache. My fever was up to 104.8° for most of the day on Friday and by the time my husband got home Friday night I wanted to die. By that time I was throwing up and so dehydrated that I couldn't even sweat anymore. I desperately WANTED to go to the doctor but hubby decided to see if we could break the fever first. Cold compresses felt like torture because I was so hot but I was pretty delirious so I don't remember too much of it. The fever broke some time in the middle of the night on Friday and I spent all day Saturday sleeping. I mean ALL DAY. I managed to sit up and eat a little soup for lunch but then I laid down for a little nap and woke up 10 hours later.
Sunday I felt more alive, but still very weak. I am still a little wobbly today but I am here at work like a good little worker bee. I can see an early bedtime in my future though. And I am definitely not working any OT today. Maybe I will even leave a little early....
Food wise, the weekend wasn't an issue. It was horrible but hey, I am down 5 pounds since Thursday. Won't be for long but a girl can dream.
