ah-choo

Yeah...I have the Flu. And it sucks...Royally!

Towards the end of Spring Break my nose started running like a faucet. I had been doing some much needed spring cleaning, as well as changing out 50 year old plugs and light switches, so I figured it was just allergies. Let's see...that was Thursday...it continued and Saturday brought along a fever with it. I still didn't feel that bad. I still thought it was allergies, maybe a sinus infection. So, I went along with my usual activities, including going to my Uncle H.A.'s birthday party. I hugged and kissed dang near everyone and played with all the babies and kiddos. Sunday morning I woke up with a 102 fever. Awesome...Soooo I curled up on the couch and tried not to die. All this time I was still dogsitting for Barbara and all I wanted was my bed. Sunday night before I went to bed, my temperature was 103.6 yikes!! I'm pretty sure I have semi-baked organs.

Luckily I'm friends with one of the nurses at my doc's office. I called her at home to see if I needed to go to the emergency room or if I should just hold out till morning. She told me unless i thought I was going to die that I should just come to their office first thing in the morning. I figured for the difference in price ($10 for my doc or $38935 for the e.r.) I could hold out. So, Monday morning I drug myself out of bed and went to the doc where he proceeded to tell me I have the Flu and cannot have contact with humans till thursday...

Conversations with my dog have gotten incredibly dull....
