calimeOh, suckage. Saturday brought 'flu, amongst other things. I don't think I've had that high a temp for, like, last 4 years. Ungh. I'm usually a low fever type and anything over 38 C makes me curl up in a corner and feel like half-dying. Well, when I got home from being a timekeeper on local agility competition on Saturday evening, I discovered to my 'delight' that I had a fever of ca 39 C....and spent considerable time under a hot shower with my teeth chattering before I was able to take some paracetamol and crawl to bed. I did manage to put up the new ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
highlander100 challenge though, so yay! me.
Now, after 4 days at home I've kinda settled into a pattern - sleep late, putter around, drink insane amounts of honeyed tea, after dinner as fever approaches 38 again drink some Coldrex and therefore feel better in the evening, with a brief respite from the fever. Seems like this might actually be a 'flu, not just any other random upper respiratory ailment:S. I probably got it from a colleague and as far as I know, there is a wave of an illness with similar symptoms going over the whole damn country. Will have doctors appointment on Thursday, but doubt I'll be able to get back to work before mid-next week.
The last time I had a fever that high, it went on into something approaching a pneumonia and after that, a myocarditis. Of course, at that time I was stupid enough to go back to work too early...something I try not to do this time. It might sound surprising, but I actually try not to repeat unpleasant mistakes*gg*.
So, I'll just lie back and watch Holby City eps that I haven't had time for before...while waiting for that "Russian" version of one certain movie *g* to get here. Dan Clifford is a wonderfully interesting character, I must say. And while he is not acting like the Methos we know very often, for some reason I could still very well see Methos acting as Dan Clifford..if it makes sense g*.
Wish I'd cough less though. Diaphragm hurts. Ow.

Date: 2007-02-20 06:17 pm (UTC)I'm determined to get better... I'm kinda fed up on being on sick leave for one reason or the other.
And I do wonder whether PW is deliberately 'playing Methos' in some scenes - particularly Methos, not Adam Pierson.

Date: 2007-02-20 07:03 pm (UTC)I doubt if there's anything to be worried about, though. Not much. I just hate fevers, is all. Also, not a big fan of coughing and stuffed noses:).
But I keep my feet warm and drink a lot and I also emptied half a pharmacy yesterday, so... I just have to give it time.
*hugs* The positive side of virtuality is that I can hug you without fearing that I'll infect you *g* *hugs again*
