Thread Drift

The driving ban ends today at 4 pm. Hope you're feeling better, and got all dug out. That was a lot of snow! Woohoo.

Thanks, SheFly. Parts of me are better and other parts, no. I am still not dressed as I write this. Yes, we're all dug out, took DH 3 hours with the snowblower, and that's just for the area in front of our house. The driveway up to our house gets plowed. I certainly don't feel like I should be skiing tomorrow, but there has been a gradual improvement each day. Yes, the driving ban has ended, but I am not going anywhere tonight! We are headed to Northfield Mt. at 9 AM.

Still sick, and now I have a fever of 100. Obviously, I did not go skiing. I am not coughing much anymore and my sore throat is gone. Just aching and my head is full, my stomach is weird. I always get freaked out about pneumonia, although I don't have any chest pain. Definitely not the flu; I had a shot 5 weeks ago and this has come on very slowly, nothing like when I had the flu in 1993, which is about the sickest I've ever been, including a 104 degree fever.
It looks like I will be going to my PCP tomorrow and possibly canceling all of my clients. We are leaving Thursday for VT, and it is a non-refundable reservation.

Ugh. Hope you feel better in time for your trip.

OK, after a horrible day yesterday, including a fever of 100 (I never run a fever and my normal temperature is below normal), I think I may be on the upswing. Maybe. My head is still full, but I feel somewhat different, can't quite put my finger on it. Cancelled all my clients, but I am not missing my haircut appt. (priorities)! I am debating on going to the doctor, as I definitely don't have anything in my chest and I doubt I need an antibiotic, which would put me into weeks of stomach hell.
Will keep you posted.

Sorry, Crankin! Hope you start feeling better day by day -- I'm betting you'll be fine (or close to it) by Thursday. Once your fever has broken, the worst is over, in my experience.

Feel better, Crankin. I, too, get stomach and bowel issues with most antibiotics. Now I take a priobotic during and after the course of antibiotics. That seems to help.

On an unrelated note: Whoever created the at-home jewelry/makeup/clothing/purse Pampered Chef-type parties should be voted off the island. I just got invited to a clothing party. The hostess is a perfectly lovely person and I don't want to offend her, but there's no way in hell I'm going to such a thing. The only way I like to shop for clothes is online.
