Ughghhhh day four of an awful colf/flu/fever whatever. It came on SO quickly Thursday afternoon, and I've been stuck in bed all day Saturday and Sunday. I utterly HATE IT. I have so many things to do and get done and think about and I HATE that I'm pinned here flicking through the awful tv channels yet again. Boooooooo. Headache, snotty nose, barking cough, sneezing, aching muscles, high fever (38.8C/102F), the works.
Today I was forced to leave my bed to go to hospital for an existing dermatology appointment (my husband drove me in since walking to the bus stop was a bit iffy) so I got looked over by the haem doctor on duty, who reckons it's just a really bad cold or flu. But they swabbed me just to make sure, so I'll find out if anything grows on the cultures in a few days. Until then, more BORING AWFUL DUVET. I am really, really sick of this. Last night I had trouble sleeping for stressing about all the things that need doing and all the timelines I'm up against, arrrrghhghgh. I really can't afford to lose four whole days right now.
Even when I came home right after the transplant I wasn't as useless as I am with this! I could at least cook dinner and sit upstairs and work in my sewing room then!
(yes, I know I'm acting like a petulant, moping child here. Humour me.)
