kasia in a nutshell

Nearly back in the world of the living. Today I woke up with almost normal temperature (37.8, that's a huge improvement from the nearly daily 39+ I've been waking up with for the last week and a half) and my headache was almost bearable.. (meaning I could function without waiting for medication to kick in).

That means I'm almost well. Wonderful.

This has been a doozy.. I caught the flu and instead of staying in bed like any normal, sane person would I decided to work and function anyway.. Bad idea. Caught a secondary infection and a nasty one at that. I think the last time I had fever in the 40s was when I had kidney problems as a kid.. long, long time ago. The red teeny dots in random places on my body weren't very attractive either (petechiae - due to increased viral count in blood).

Well, that will teach me to not take better care when sick.. Almost back to normal functioning, I'm working from home (falling behind at work would only create more stress which doesn't help in getting well) and slowly getting caught up on email and stuff.
