The Flu Bug Done Got me
Did anyone miss me? I’ve been flat on my back sick since Tuesday night. We went to vote right after work Tuesday and then ran to the store for a few provisions…that’s when I first noticed all the little sparkles dancing in front of my eyes and the sound of hissing coming from my ears. I got so dizzy I had to sit down several times.
By nightfall I was feverish, chilling and breaking with goosebumps and I thought my head was gonna split wide open. My hips, arms, legs, neck ached so bad I couldn’t begin to get comfortable and my lungs and head immediately filled to bursting with mucus. Even the roof of my mouth hurt! Then I began bleeding from my eyes, ears and pores…(actually I just made that last part up to see if you were paying attention, though as lousy as I felt, those symptoms wouldn’t have surprised me)
I’ve been up and around a bit today, but I still feel tired and woozy. This morning Chuck found the thermometer, it was in the kitchen junk drawer, mixed in with hundreds of emery boards, balls of twine and promotional pens. I guess I’m not quite over the bug, as my temp is 101 and two tenths. I really hope I didn’t make anyone else sick…wouldn’t wish this flu on my worst enemy.
