I still feel like ass even after staying home yesterday and having a fairly light day at work today. The fever won’t be kicked and I remain at a steady, annoying 99 to 100 degrees with no other symptoms but the symptoms that go with a week of uninterrupted fever. In a perfect world, I would sleep for the next five days undisturbed.

Oh no, I completely understand. I have it too. I’ve been down and out the past couple days. I still want to post about our friend Connie coming to visit. Hopefully I’ll get to it tomorrow. :) Feel better!
THis thing that is going around is VICIOUS. NO ONE ever takes me seriously when I say this, but, If you like Fractured your leg or something, you would take a coupla days off work, and the world would not end.
WHen you are strapped for cash it SEEMS like the world will end if you rest, etc, but honestly, it won’t. You won’t even get fired. Sometimes it is the ONLY way to get the body to heal.
Resting.
It’s what the MegatheoCorporatacracy DOESN’T want you to do.
Get someone–anyone–with the skills (even a nursing student should be able to do it) to listen to your breathing with a stethoscope. A steady fever, with nothing apparently wrong, can be a sign of pneumonia–and pneumonia can get to the “just-about-dead” stage (lung capacity down to 10%) before you even feel sick. (Happened to me–although, thankfully, I had enough remaining lung capacity when it was caught that I didn’t end up in the hospital.)
