The Joys of Being Sick

March 29th, 2004News

This past weekend was one of those I will remember as being slightly less enjoyable than many other weekends. That is to say, my body was invaded by the flu virus from hell. Friday I felt a little achy, but nothing serious, so I ignored it. Bad idea, cowboy. Somewhere around midnight, I woke up with a serious case of feeling cooler than being cool. No, not ice cold. I was chillin’, and it was not so much wiggedy whack as just the normal type.

I eventually made it through that, and slept a lot on Saturday with a nice little break to spend some quality time kneeling in the bathroom. By that evening I was feeling a little better, thanks largely to the magic of Zesta crackers and ginger ale. However, Saturday night I had another lovely episode of the chills, accompanied by a fever of 102°.

Sunday morning I was still feeling crappy with a high fever, so I went to the Emergency room, where the doctor told me it was probably viral and I would just have to wait it out. Great. However, he did tell me to take lots of tylenol and ibuprofen, which has helped.

I skipped out on work today because I’m still not 100%, but I’m getting there. Ooh, it’s time to take more drugs. Zesta!
