Denise, take it really easy. Your body is so fit that it will be doing its very best to get rid of what's making you sick. Just let it do its job, don't push at all. You'll get back to work soon enough. You've done the major work you need to get ready for the IM. Sending virtual ...whatever makes you feel good... through the 'puter.
Let us know how you're doing,
L.
