Fever Broke
So ill.
Of the level of ill where I know you all heard me throwing up. Sorry, but I tried to keep it down. I did.
I also had to keep squeezing my forehead because my brain was trying to burst out the front of my skull.
I woke up with that, and the vomiting.
Not unusual.
But it ignored ginger, gravol, and Imitrex. Also, of course, pleas for death.
Then came the shaking. My bones ached with cold, but I was blistering hot.
I'll spare you more gory details, and skip ahead a few days.
Today, I can star in a zombie feature. Without make up or any special effects. The fever popped most of the capillaries in my face and neck. It's truly gruesome. At best, in dim light, it looks like I was savaged down to the bone by a rogue cheese grater.
My condition has been upgraded to terrible. Still, if I could stagger more than a few feet without falling down--and then deciding it's better to just lie there, because I need to rest for few hours to have the minimum strength to get up anyway--I would totally go out.
Just to watch people recoil.
