Chilled well enough. I actually feel fairly good as long as I can keep cool enough. After waking I have just done a bit of research on some minor things and blogged. I did remember to call and cancel a visit. I hate when I forget to inform then have to deal with the consequences. I notice that as I have done things, my temp has slowly increased. It's not just popping up, so I have a bit before needing to chill. All good. I have definitely had worse.
I'll probably set the dishes to a hot rinse, play a game for a bit, dry the dishes, and then might well need to go back into the chill box. I have to be a bit careful of cooling off too fast. The chills are as bad as the heat. Adding a bit of blanket here, kicking off part or all there, tending the feet, it's a bit of work but the payoff is there. As long as I don't fall too far into either extreme, or even let extremities suffer, I seem to be doing okay. Actually I think this is the best flu-ish illness I have ever had. Usually, since I only get them occasionally, they seem to be extreme when I do get them. And virulent, so I keep people away. I'll probably be better tomorrow night. I mean done with it, completely. I wish I could have thrown the viral infection that wasted my heart off as easily.
The shingles, chicken pox recurrence really, just isn't in the same league. I do wonder if the shots they gave might have caused that to flare. They shoot us up with more stuff than you can imagine when going overseas. And, usually, it's good. There will always be a few bad reactions in the batch. I had it before we were actually aboard, so it wasn't from the close quarters stuff that pops on subs about a month into tours. Though I doubt if that helped. No worries. After everyone settled a bit, and accepted that there was a problem, things have been handled as well, I suppose, as could be expected. Which, of course, is why I don't trust doctors. They really don't know and don't always do a good job of finding the real problems.
Just a minor headache creeping in, but less than my occasional, sort of off to the side. No complaints here, a good sign that whatever it is, it's working it's way through. Later.
Hello Doom,
ReplyDeleteA summer bug .. ugh!
Be well, Doomster, ya here?
And take those meds..
Your friendly online nag,
foam
:)
Sort of a super bug, only partly of flesh. Yeah, gotcha. I'll keep trying, anyway.
ReplyDeleteI just lose track of... everything, sometimes. Then again, if you think Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, or some other place is great for vacations? You ought to try Nowhere sometime. It's cheap, no packing required, no travel... it comes to you. Without being on fire is better, true. But that was just a short spit of it.
