Hallelujah! Clear thoughts once again!
I’ve been sick for the past few days, I mean really sick. Starting Saturday night at work I had a strange cough but I really thought nothing of it in hopes that it would just go away. Of course, since my days off are Sunday and Monday, the cough escalated into some horribly terrible virus thingy. I was in bed all day Sunday & all day Monday. Ick! For the past few nights all I can remember dreaming about in my fever induced hallucinations is WWE wrestling and World of Warcraft, and it wasn’t the two separately, it was more of a combination thing…don’t ask. All I know is that due to the insane hallucinations my head was pounding every night and all I could do was toss and turn.
Sunday I just slept off and on and work up long enough to flip through channels and watch the “Puppy Bowl” which according to the TVguide description was “an alternative to the Super Bowl featuring a kitten half time show” and I’d have to say that was interesting. It consisted of just a bunch of cute puppies playing on a mini football field with toys and whatnot. I certainly enjoyed it more then I would the Super Bowl. Oh, and I also woke up long enough to catch “The L Word” which was pretty good as well.
Monday night was even worse. I slept most of the day off and on as well. When night time finally rolled around I was breaking out in cold sweats and one minute I’m shivering and the next I’m passed out on the floor of my bedroom in front of the fan because I am so freaking hot. So yes, I would say I was quite feverish. Ick!
Today, er- yesterday, Tuesday was awful! I woke up with less than a whisper for a voice and I had to call into work because, well, you can’t work in a call center without a voice. When I called in to Kristie she could barely hear me! Then I called my Daddy because I felt so terrible I finally decided to break down and see Doc Gerber. Thank God he’s a friend of the family! They got me in less than an hour after my dad called! I went in and I was feeling pretty lousy but when I finally got into his actual office I got really dizzy and everything went blurry. Next thing I know I’m throwing up in the sink! It was so scary for me because I honestly felt like I was going to pass out. It was the weirdest thing, I’ve never felt so sick in my life. Arg, and to top things off about my lovely day, my stupid monthly ‘friend’ came and I have the worse cramps on top of whatever it is that is eating away at me.
Anyway, so Doc gave me an Ozone IV drip, which was an IV (dur!) in my arm that oxygenated my blood so that my blood cells would fight whatever ‘virus’ (I say ‘virus’ because we weren’t really sure what the hell it is) in my body. Then, I had a Vitamin IV drip that had a combination of different vitamins including E, B, and lots of C. After they pulled the stupid needles out of my arms I had to get a stupid 411 shot in my butt! Since my tonsils are the size of golf balls, Doc also prescribed me an antibiotic that I’ll be taking for the next week.
The reason I decided to blog is because finally, after 3 days of hallucinations and fevers, I can finally think clearly! YAY! On the downside, since I can think clearly once again, I am constantly thinking of all the things I have to do. I still have no voice, and I still feel achy and crappy, but my fever is gone. The antibiotics I’m on appear to be helping but they are also giving me every known side effect listed on the damn box. I know the IV’s help, they always do, and the shot as well. I know I won’t be going back to work tomorrow, I can’t afford to go and then realize half way through the day I can’t make it and leave only to get a second occurance on my record.
On other notes…
I gave up soda once again! This time I think it’s for good! I’ve been doing really well. It’s only been a week or so but I really have no desire to drink soda. I’m used to drinking it daily so a week is pretty good for me. I plan to buy a big case of V8 when I get paid since I should be eating more veggies but I don’t have the time to make them and I don’t really have much desire either. I love the taste of V8 and once serving of V8 gives me 3 servings of veggies and I’m sure V8 is better than no veggies. Plus, I am going to be drinking green tea more. I never used to be a tea person but it’s growing on me. Green tea is supposed to boost your metabolism so that’ll help me out.
Okay, I’m starting to feel the ach of sitting up right for more than 5 minutes again. Damn this evil sickness!! I am so sick of being sick!
Hugs & Kisses,
Amber
