For the last eight days I have been ill. So ill that I have hardly stirred from my bed, where I was wrapped in a cocoon of misery, pain, and dreadful feverish chills. At times I have felt as though, despite the duvets and quilts, I was sitting naked in a deep freezer, this moderated at times so that I felt that perhaps I was in a salad crisper drawer...
My mind has been all over the place, giving me deeply unhelpful short dreams of immense craziness, a product of the fever, I guess.
I feel as weak as a newborn, but then I have been unable to eat for almost all of that time. Last night I managed to nibble on a slice of dry toast. This morning I crunched a Golden Delicious apple which tasted amazin...how pathetic is that? Golden Delicious?
Enough of all that, though. I still feel dreadful but at least I don't feel as though I'm about to check out from life, although the toast and the apple may have been a mistake, nausea is returni
After an exhausting morning of bathing and dressing, I have permitted myself half an hour on the computer before I head back to my bed.

Time for bed.
Again.

ReplyDeleteoh darling... I hope you feel better soon... shall I bring round pie?
ReplyDeleteI wish I were your neighbor so I could bring you a big bowl of hot chicken noodle soup. I hope this bout of "killer-death" flu will give you super immunity for a lot of years!
ReplyDeleteThank you, everyone. I'm almost well again, just lacking energy - so perhaps soup and pie should be on my menu!
