Sick Again

It was a lovely day outside today. A little windy, but lots and lots of sunshine. But I was stuck in the house today, down with a viral infection. The last time I was sick was in March. It looks like my body is very weak, I'm so prone to the latest travelling bugs. Whatever bug I caught this time is a NASTY one. Came equipped with the latest torture techniques. I woke up at 1am with body aches, and pretty much every hour after that. By 11am I was crying in bed it was so bad. Luckily I got an appointment with the doctor today.

With all the hype about swine flu these days, I was really worried when he told me I had a fever, and that my pulse was faster than normal. I think he might have even edged his chair away from me when he told me those things. But the weird thing was that the symptoms were confined to just body aches and fever. No cough, runny nose or the normal flu symptoms. Nevertheless, he gave me 3 days MC and prescribed Tamiflu and told me to take it if I developed any respiratory difficulties. Touch wood...

Hey buddercup, sorry to hear that you are under the weather. Take a good rest and chuck down those VitC. Will pray for speedy recovery.
