Friday's Sick Log
Hehe - I kept a close log of what was happening on Friday night when I was feeling SO sick... This laptop is so fun - I just popped open a notepad doc and jotted down things as they occurred to me. Looking at it now, it's mostly a temperature log. Dig it:
came home from work @ 3:30 due to sheer exhaustion - last dose of 2 ibuprofen was at noon
5:00 felt very cold - goosebumps. Temperature = 100.0
5:15 called parents
5:30 temp = 99.5
6:00 temp = 101.3 - called Jon - took 3 ibuprofen
I will need Jon to bring Tylenol for me to take with the ibuprofen to control the fever, and Aleve (which lasts 12 hours) to get through the night
6:20 temp = 101.3 but now I feel hot, not cold anymore
6:37 temp = 101.5
6:48 temp = 100.8
7:26 temp = 99.5
8:30 temp = 99.5
9:00 temp = 98.6
9:25 took 2 ibuprofen - temp is still 98.6 - I think the fever has broken. Still feel like hell.
Funny. Today is the 4 year anniversary of that night I really did almost die from that hellish fever that Darren and Dr. Hushka and all my awesome nurses saved me from. I really really will write more about it when I get the time. As for now, I should have been in bed an hour ago.
