Argh. Damage Control, Day 3…

[railenthe]

Considering that there are three of us with these same symptoms right now (obviously disregarding the leaden weight that is my damn knee), after a consultation with a QuickCare doc, WebMD, and that greatest of diagnosers—Mama—I’ve come to the conclusion that we’ve come down with a weak flu.  All we’ve got is the CRIPPLING FATIGUE AND FEVER/CHILL that it comes with, hence my conclusion that it’s a weak one.

Now, I don’t do well with any flu, and my latest pain medicine has a warning that if I catch any infections I need to see a doctor, so after this initial visit, I might have to come back again.

 

Between now and then, I have my own home remedy to turn to:

 

Homemade super-spicy curry.

 

I don’t  normally eat such spicy things—but I’m sick right now and if I’m stuck with this fever, I might as well turn up the flames on it, burn this bastard out of my system before taking a SWAN DIVE into a tub filled with ice water.

 

…hells, if it doesn’t work, I got a supervisor who will INSIST on driving me to an Urgent Care center if I come in again with that ‘old-freezerburnt-steak’ complexion again.  And I think I’ll take her up on it if it keeps going.

 

I mean, do you know how weird it is to be burning up and freezing cold at the same time?  Brr.  Do not want.  Do not like.

Oh no! *sends you hugs and virtual soup*

That curry had better work - I know how you loathe spicy foods.
