Man, I've been Crook!

    (That's sick, in Australian slang)

    On the night of the second I decided to go to bed without the heater for the first time (it's the tail end of Winter here). At midnight I woke up, shivering of extreme cold, even though I had a reasonable pile of blankets on. I had to turn the heater back on and crank the thermostat up. I assumed I had a fever, so I took some paracetemol and went back to bed. Tossing and turning all night, aches and pains, alternating between icy cold and boiling hot, babbling, hallucinating - it was not a fun night. It was the same for most of the day - there was no way I could take the boys to school. I had the doctor around who basically said "There's a lot of it going around" and told me to keep up the paracetemol and aspirin (alternating between the two) and keep up the fluids. By the evening I was a little better, but wasn't able to keep the dinner appointment we had. My wife still went out and Mum still came over to babysit (me - as well as the boys ). I was a little better this morning and was able to post a little. I still had to sleep a few hours during the day (something I don't tend to do a lot). I'm still a little dizzy, but getting around.

    I hope I'll be back soon to be able to put some more KM Scans up soon! (Dmouse is keeping me well supplied!)

    Steph.

    Join the club. Ive had a cough the past three days that is way down deep in my lungs and ive hardly slept in three nights. Totally psychotic here. The doc has put me onto asthma medication to deal with it. he said its an especially virulent strain this year.

    You must have gotten the other half of the flu symptoms, RF - I was lucky in that I didn't get the classic coughy, phlegmy, wheezy symptoms - being asthmatic, it's a blessing that I just had the painful, hallucinatory stuff. What did he put you on?

    Sorry to hear you two are feeling (down under) the weather.

    Hope you start feeling much better soon.

    Steph, too ill to scan the KM. Could Jehovah be telling you something?

    Take care.

    LOL Nope, it's Dmouse doing the scanning - I just have to spend a few minutes fiddling with my website to get them up. I need to spend a few minutes more, apparently - I noticed the page title is "Untitled Document" - I'm not usually that sloppy!

    I should be able to do the next installment in a day or two - in keeping with the timetable - if Jehovah's telling me something, then it's to take a rest!

    Perhaps he should have you on a preventative too, RF - too much Ventolin is no good for you (plus it's weak as piss!).

    Steph,

    Sounds like you've been "spiking". Not much fun, is it?!

    Glad you're regaining your posting power. We'll have you back out of retirement soon!!

    Say g'day to the missus.

    Cheers, Ozzie
