OK, this stuff is officially whupping up on yours truly, oh my darlings. Looked up West Nile Virus, and did a mini-freakout that I have all those symptoms except the rash. Delightful. My abdomen is so shredded by now that the only way I can cough is to curl up in a ball and help squeeze.
I've never been admitted to a hospital for anything in my life, but I thought sure I'd be going there before this weekend ended.
Mom called and left me a voice mail and said she knew without me telling her that the bastard (my word, not hers) shouldn't preach my funeral. She said she suspected his services would not be required anyhoo.
I swear I'm not normally a drama queen.
I'm like my dad, mostly. Dad had the flu once on a road trip when the alternator went out. What to do? Needs must. Dad changed that alternator in between bouts of projectile vomiting á lá Linda Blair, and all the while a passenger was haranguing him to get the car fixed. Then he got back in the car and completed the 10 hour drive.
So, anyway, if I take after pop at all, I'll kick this stuff's ass eventually. Unlike my father, though, I do reserve the right to whine about it. And I'll certainly be giving a piece of my mind to that jerk at my doctor's office. And I'll not be available in the immediate future for any alternator repairs.
That is all.

Phlegm, you've GOT to take care of yourself!
Dammit, I count on you to provide me with reading material, and since I'm so important, you must get better.
Self-centered, Moi?!
Seriously, though, I really hope you rapidly improve, being so sick sucks the big donkey schlong.
Stay out of the hospital...you won't feel better if you go there, hopefully you'll get the (miracle?) Tamiflu soon (even if your doc is an asshole).
Mom said the B word???? Have you tried the meds that knock you out? I like those. get well, A
Virtual chicken soup headed your way. ;)
Thinking of you as my head is about to pop off my shoulder's from all the coughing. Yep, my dear sweet husband decided I should get it to. I understand Phlemgy. The a /c is out and I'm running 102.3 temp.
I hate summer sickness! Just kill me now.
christina - hopefully I'll be back to my usual vigorous snark momentarily. Sick time always feels like time lost...
sis - no - I said "my word, not hers" in the text. Mom didn't say "bastard"
ambulance driver - I've virtually consumed the soup - thanks!
lainy - sheesh! Wow. Bless you, hon. You've got to be miserable. I hope your a/c is back up right away!
Y'all are making me sick just reading about it. Get better soon!
You are entitled to some drama queenery when you are that sick, so have at it. My alternator will just have to wait until you are well, I guess.
I hope you can get some decent medical attention today.
sorry I missed that, the ideer of her cussing just gets me all excited a
