You might not have noticed that I’ve been sick coz I was still posting here (got some very important deadlines to beat!), but I was. Saturday and Sunday were the worst.

On Saturday night about 6, after eating tuna salad, I went to bed for a short nap. A little after that I started to feel cold. I covered myself with blanket but it didn’t help. Got another blanket, still the same. I was shivering. I felt all queasy. I felt the urge to vomit, so I did. I felt a bit better but still felt cold. I wore more clothing and hid under two heavy comforters and fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, I was soaking wet! Where am I? In an oven? It was hot! So that was my therapy for the following days; sweating it out!

By Sunday, I was still weak, had a fever with a temperature of 39.5C, barking like a mad dog, had a hoarse voice and a throat that’s awfully painful. Talking was difficult (still is) sometimes at the end of the sentence my voice would just swerve and turn into a squeal (still does).

On Monday, M didn’t go to work to take care of both little C and me. Still had a fever of 39C. He was a busy man. He went out few times during the day for C’s check-up and follow-up important matters all the time bringing little C with him. He told me if my temperature won’t go back to normal, he’ll take me to the hospital.

On Tuesday the fever was gone! Heh! Maybe they were afraid to deal with Czech doctors. M just stayed with us. Fever’s gone alright but I still have the same bad colds.

Anyway, got some remedies I found in the net that really helped me. For my sore throat, I would take a teaspoon or two of honey. It relieves the pain, really! And to ease the breathing while sleeping with clogged nose, elevating the pillow worked wonders!

It’s Thursday, I’m not fully well but already on the go! Life has to go on!
