(no subject)
So yeah, I'm still ill. Spent the last couple of days coughing and puking (yeah, that was fun! surprise stomach flu in the middle of all the coughing) and sniffling on the sofa in the room furthest away from dad's. I'm so worried he will catch whatever it is I have.
Dad's temperature is still really high, and today it even got up around 39,5 degrees Celsius, which is really bad. And even if the paracetamol does help a bit, it hardly never goes below 37,5, and dad's normal temp is around 36,5.. The nurse was here again today to take some new blood tests, but the home care doctor sucked and refused to even look at dad's case, just said we should take him to the emergency if it continued like this.. yeah right, as if we really want that after all that has happened. We'll see hwo it all works out. Maybe the blood-work will show something finally and they can give him some antibiotics after all..
So things are not so great no.
My poor sister is really feeling the strain of doing double shifts, and I wouldn't be surprised if she gets the lurgy soon too. Our brother has been wonderful though and showed up tonight to take the night shift so we all could sleep. Great help! I haven't been able to do anything really except helping dad up from his bed once or twice in between running to the loo and the kitchen for some tea. I was truly out of it on Sunday, and slightly better last night, and finally managed to get some sleep, but unfortunately it got worse again today and I've just been coughing and resting on the sofa. What a great Valentine's Day.
Yesterday evening I did manage to get hold of my laptop though, finally feeling bored enough on my sofa to read fic, and ended up reading a ton of Hockey RPS fic! I blame calathea!! Perfect for feeling feverish on the sofa though. Hockey is just something I'm slightly familiar with through living in a winter-sport mad country and having a brother and father who watched it on the telly when I was a kid. I know the names of some of the Swedes playing in the NHL since they crop up on the news over here, but that's about that. So hockey RPS feels like original fic with extra hockey thrown in, which can be quite sweet. And also, there was that Due South Hockey fic ages ago. So yay, Canada and hockey and lots of pretty great fic.
So that's my wonderful life at the moment. Off to do some more coughing now..
