Ick. Sick.
Jan. 3rd, 2007 07:12 pmI'm recovering from the worst illness I've had in about twenty years- a stomach flu that had us wondering if I would have to be taken to the emergency room last night. Fortunately, by around 9:00 pm, I was able to actually keep water down. In fact, the illness went from terrifying to painfully annoying (as well as painful) with my staying up half the night, due to headache and cramps from the severe chills I had earlier. If it wasn't for the fact that I was having trouble walking, the picture of my sneaking around to give myself hot compresses would be amusing. I actually was watching the clock, mumbling "12:45- six hours until I can take a hot bath for these pains without waking people up...2:45, four hours left to go...5:45, let's call it 45 minutes..."
I've been amazed at how fast I recovered- I went from this morning having to think long and hard about basic movements, to now being write and put out some job applications. Yay. I'll be back to the grind in no time.
And if I ever want to write about a character going through fever, chills, diarrhea and vomiting, hey, I'm set.
