week2

To be honest, I wasn’t entirely convinced I would be writing to you here today. I’ve been incredibly sick….

Weirdly, I had a very similar “flu” in June, that lasted all of June and most of July. The difference this time, at least so far, is that my ears have been ok. As you read from last week’s post.. I had a migraine for several days. I was beginning to think that it might be easing up a little, when things took a turn on Monday and my head started filling up. Within hours… I had a fever, chills, profound nausea, a head full…. a chest full….a horrible cough … and I was overwhelmed. Monday night, I was able to eat some toast, but that was the last I was able to eat until yesterday. All week….. I was able to only tolerate sips of water or watered down juice. I couldn’t lay down without choking. I didn’t sleep for 5 days/nights…. other than dozing while sitting upright in a chair. I was a mess. I was taking Mucinex, but switched to Theraflu on the advice of a friend…. and that is what finally turned it around for me Friday into Saturday. Today, I was able to eat a half of a sandwich and drink some tea. I am not over it… but I think I have definitely “turned the corner”. And I am so very, very grateful.

Needless to say… I didn’t work on any projects, or take any cool photos. The photos for today’s post are just “happy snaps” I took just now… in the still of the night, here in the apartment.
