Today is the first day in a week I’ve turned on my computer. Â The reason being I’ve been sick three of the past four weeks. It started with a cold that ended up lasting a couple weeks. I had a week where I thought I was getting better and I even went snowshoeing twice. My lungs were not 100%, but I enjoyed both trips.
Then last Monday afternoon I came down with something unlike anything I’ve ever had before. This was not just a case-of-the-sniffles-so-you-don’t-feel-well sick (which turns into lung crud for me always), this was land-you-in-bed and loose-track-of-the-day-of-the-week kind of sick. And to compound it, of course I have the cough that will not quit, will not let me rest and I have too many sensitivities to most meds that knock you out cold so I spent a few night getting by on double doses of Nyquil and melatonin.
We shambled through the house in a semi-conscious blur, moving much like slow zombies. I eve stopped eating for the most part for several days.
Somehow we managed to get through the week, keep all the animals fed and mostly cleaned up after and I only had to go the Urgent Care once. I’m starting to feel normal again, but I’m still tired and movement made too quickly causes dizzy spells and lots of heavy labored breathing.
Michael says we had the flu. I’ve never had the flu before. If this is the flu, I never want it again.
