Alive and Kicking

The title just barely might cover how I'm feeling right now. I'm in the early stages of getting sick... and am desperately trying to hold on and keep moving... without letting this thing get the best of me.

I'm on day two of having a fever, some body aches, and a cough... we'll see what else develops. I'm sort of in a mode of preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. Meaning that I'm at work today - getting my intern as squared away as possible in the event that I have to miss a day later in the week.

Getting as much work done as possible - and thinking of things to get done at home in the event that the bottom drops out of this. YUCK!

I'm going to try to get some progress made on the casserole that will feed our small group Thursday night - and put it in the freezer so that I can literally not get off the couch again until then if needed. Well, ok - that's not realistic... if it gets to that stage - a quick trip to the doctor for some super drugs might be part of the equation.

This all freaks me out a bit - because last year at this time - I got sick like this and it ended up being a month long ordeal... anyone remember me not being able to hear ANYTHING for a solid month?! NOT FUN! And certainly not part of the infertility plans - I don't know how it would effect the timing - but I basically have 3(ish) weeks to make sure that I'm completely healthy... so lets bring on the truckloads of vitamin C!

Sorry that the blog has taken a backseat to the fever for the last 24 hours or more... but I do have some pictures from Saturday that I'll use for your entertainment tonight or tomorrow. Hang in here with me... and I promise you some good blog fodder when I can gather it.

  3. :( Hope you feel better soon! Whenever I feel myself starting to get sick with a cold/respiratory illness, I take Zicam dissolvable tablets (not the spray!). Within a day or two, I'm better. I don't know if you can take that or not, but it sure beats being sick for a month!

  4. Vitamin D, vitamin D, & more vitamin D. Most folks are far too deficient of that, especially as the MDs & media have folks afraid of the sun. Zinc is helpful, too.

    Hope you feel better woon.
