Anatomy of a Week of Illness
Sorry that I haven’t posted during the past week. I managed to get a blog up last week that briefly talked about what was going on and to potentially prepare blog readers that I wouldn’t have a chance to blog regularly.
Sunday Night
I went to church (& felt fine). If I’d felt sick, I wouldn’t have gone as I wouldn’t have wanted to spread illness, but I felt fine. Later, we went out to eat and I felt fine then, as well, but when we came back, I had a sore throat on Sunday night. I never have a sore throat, unless I’m sick, so that was a major sign. I went to bed with a major sore throat and the beginnings of a headache.
Monday
Probably the worst day of the whole week. I had a sore throat, stomach cramps, fatigue, congestion (chest), fever, chills and stayed in the bed pretty much the entire day. I only got up long enough to eat–breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and only because my body made me.
Tuesday – Wednesday
Felt slightly better, but due to congestion that settled in my chest (lungs), I was fatigued and simply couldn’t do anything. I tried very hard to do things–get up, get going, and try to get well as I had an appointment for contacts lens on Wednesday. However, when Wednesday came around, I had to call and reschedule.
Thursday – Friday
I though I would feel better toward the later part of the week, but the congestion in my chest didn’t break up like it normally does, and I found that I couldn’t breathe like normal. My mother said that I should probably go to the doctor, but since the main part of the illness (the fever) was over, I decided not to, but I was extremely fatigued for those two days.
Saturday – Sunday
Finally, on Friday night, my congestion began to go away, but going along with that was a cough that kept me up most of the night. I was actually able to get up and be a “human being” on Saturday night. However, after about 3 hours of my normal Saturday laundry routine, I was exhausted. Sunday was a little better, as I actually went out for the first time in literally 7 days. Needless to say, I was exhausted after a simple jaunt to the store and to get gas for the car.
