Being sick really sucks!

OK. Here I am beginning another week and I'm still sick. When I came down with the fever and chills I thought it would be just a day or two. Then the nausea hit. And learning to LIVE on the pot is no fun at all. So ok, I thought - let's get it over all at once. I'm game for that. I'll be over this thing in a day or two, no longer.

But noooo. Here I am still woozy, still weak and shaky, and I feel like I've been run over by a Mack truck. At least the nausea is gone, and I have graduated from having the bathroom be my home. I can't stay out of bed long though - too weak.

I think my fever broke last night though 'cuz I woke up all in a sweat. Maybe I'm on the mend. At least I feel better enough today to pull up the net and surf a bit and post here in my blog, so that's a good thing.

I like to look for the positive when I can, and for a couple of days it's been raining while I've been sick in bed. That was nice. I've always liked to curl up in bed with the blankets wrapped around me while it's raining outside, so that part was kinda cool.

The rest of it really sucks though. And it's really crazy the last two days - It feels really stupid to count my progress by the hours I spend OUT of the bathroom. Damn.

I'm getting tired. Who would have thought that just typing and using a mouse would be strenuous! Hell, just sitting upright in a chair is tough! But at least I'm sitting in a chair and not on the john. Thank God for that.

A good friend of mine came over and made me this huge kettle of chicken soup a couple of days ago. Bless her! And it's great soup, too. It's all I've felt like eating . Well, I did add some Saltines yesterday, but that's it. The really crazy thing is, it still tastes good to me, even after a week of nothing but soup. I guess the body doesn't lie. I've only got maybe a bowl or two left though, so I've GOT to be better by tomorrow so I can fix myself something else to eat.

I'll go stumble off to the couch now for awhile, maybe watch a little TV, and gather my strength a bit before I make the long trek back into the bedroom.
