I had the flu. It was a bad case and I thought I was dying. I had a fever that won't break for the longest time, I couldn't breathe unless the AC was on, and when the fever eases for a bit, I started getting chilled. After a while, the fever rages again.
One week. It took all of one week before it finally decided to leave and take on another victim. My daughter. So, I was left debilitated by that darn bug and I had to take care of my girl right away. Good thing she has a better resistance to it and got better in three days.
Me? I was dehydrated and my blood pressure plummeted to an all time low making me queasy and dizzy and almost passing out every time I moved. My doctor said to take plenty of fluids, preferably water, get some more rest and forget about washing dishes and laundry or scrubbing the bathroom. And no tiring myself out with my graphics project. Dang!
I feel much better now. But my budget is shot to pieces because of the unexpected medical expenses. I told my daughter that we have to be careful not to get sick again because we can't afford it.:)
Being sick is the pits. It keeps me away from all the stuff I love to do and eats up all my resources, too. I hope the big, bad flu leaves me and my daughter alone for the rest of the year.:)
