Sick with a really nasty case of Influenza. I've been pretty much knocked out since Sunday when my fever began, and it's still around 39 or 40 C if I don't take regular doses of Advil/Tylenol. I've got about 4 hrs of sleep a night for 4 nights in a row. My head feels like it's gonna explode. My neck and back are stiff and in pain. I'm so fatigued I can't even walk straight down my hallway. My ears are under constant pressure, and any high pitch noise kills. I have no appetite, and what appetite I have is brutally suppressed by the high fever and the antibiotics. The antibiotics are so I don't get a secondary bacterial infection since I'm in such bad shape. I get chills and major shakes at night when my meds wear off since my body thinks I have hypothermia.
Fortunately, my lab work turned up negative, as did my chest x-ray. So we're pretty certain it's just Influenza. And an emergency doctor/family friend said that this isn't out of the ordinary for Influenza: high fever that takes you out of the game for 3-5 days. And right now, there's a lot of it going around.
I'm going to miss a week of school at crunch time: a week where I have no juice to do any homework. So now I'm a week behind when I really, really couldn't afford it.
So that's where Kevin has been. Not like you cared anyways.

Thank you for your congrads :)
Are you feeling better? Hope the flu isn't killing you. Hmm...you seem to be always sick. Try Cold FX next time when you feel a little weak, it works!
