I can't believe I'm still alive. Monday my back and legs were aching and I had a horrible headache. Spent most of the day in the bed. Tried to shake it off and work a little Tuesday afternoon, but after an hour I gave up. By Tuesday night my fever was 104 and everytime I coughed it felt like someone was driving steel spikes through my chest.
One of my best friends is an e/r nurse and I know one of the docs there, so they snuck me in the back door, but there were literally people lying on the floor cause the e/r waiting room was so full. It's some kind of upper respiratory virus that's going around here. It's awful. Today's the first day I've been upright, and I still feel like tee-total shit.
