Something’s getting wronger with me. The fever is at an all-time high and everything, externally AND internally, hurts. I feel like my organs are twisting up and my brain is screaming about being smothered as the pressure in my head heightens. My eyes are burning, and I’ve been sipping water at my desk all day but have not gone to the bathroom, so I think I’m burning it all off or something. My joints ache and my face is so hot that I keep putting my ice-cold hands on my forehead and eyelids because it temporarily relieves some of the discomfort, but I think the jurors (who sit facing me) are taking my cupping my face and head every 2 minutes as a sign that I’m not liking the DA’s closing argument. And I’m cold. I’m freezing. And the formation of goosebumps on my arms hurt my skin. If I get delirious, things may get more interesting in here.
*gag* Uh-oh, the nausea is back…
Uh-oh! I think you caught the bug 🙁 I had it, then gave it to Jay, which he gave it to Jayla and Jayla gave it to her mom. My sister just got over it. Drink lots of fluids and get some sleep. If you can, call in tomorrow and rest a lot!
Rereading this, I sound such like a mom…lol
Dude, are you taking your vitamins?
You’re getting the flu! Did you take the flu shot this season? I NEVER ever take that shot because I’m not elderly, an infant or immuno-compromised, but some people swear by it.
VITAMIN C!!!! take some.
Are you feeling better today?
Vanessa – What distinguishes this as the flu as opposed to, like, a cold?
Jordan – I’m out of multivitamins. I still have calcium and fish oil, tho. I don’t normally get the flu shot, either, since that’d make me sick for sure but if I took my chances with the actual virus, I usually don’t get it at all. I’m doing better today than last nite…
I think that a flu is body aches and you can upchuck. The cold is (i think) sniffles and cough.
Drink lots of fluids!
fluids hurt, too!
