Ugh, I’ve been fighting being sick for about a week. However, after hanging outside for 3 hours last night in 38 degree weather, drinking around a fire pit… I think I’ve finally done it. Can’t quite name what I have. Not a cold, I know that much. My chest is hurting and I had coughing fits that required my inhaler about 8 times today. My ears hurt and feel like they have a lot of fluid in them. I have a horrible headache and a very low fever– probably not even a real fever to a medical person, but since my normal temp always runs around 97.1, I consider anything over 99 a fever.
Ugh. It’s not horrible, but I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I think if I still have a “fever” tomorrow I’m going to start my stash of antibiotics. One of them is going to expire anyways. I’ve been waiting until I’ve been sick enough to use them. I just can’t afford to have bronchitis right now.
I know you all wanted a health update.
