So what started as a sore throat on Saturday was officially diagnosed this morning as Swine Flu. With a 101.8 fever and a wicked cough, the doctor felt really bad for me, especially since they were running behind and I had the pleasure of falling asleep in the waiting room.
The inevitable question-- What's it like to have Swine Flu?
Well for me, it felt a lot like pneumonia. I will start coughing and it just rattles my insides and I feel like I'm holding myself together. The fever didn't really hit until this morning, and it just pushed the whole thing over the edge.
So I'm all bunked in for the long haul; I'm not supposed to be out and about until I am fever-free for 24 hours. Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later. I'm due for another dose of Tylenol at 8pm, and it's 7:30 now, and I don't feel fevery. So my hopes are high that I might be fully recovered by Thursday.
Just another (sick) day at the Zou,
Kathy
