I have a fever :(

[Brit]

Vents below.

I'm pretty sure I have pneumonia.

It is practically morning and I have not gotten my body warm enough to sleep yet. I'm in my -10* sleeping bag and shivering like a cartoon character. Blah.

Naturally, H left for the US yesterday and I have an important meeting tomorrow that took weeks to get on people's calendars.

We don't have heat, so the indoor temperature is like 60*. Not helpful.

I am dreading having to get out of my sleeping bag to take DD to daycare tomorrow, but I definitely can't manage her at home.

Suck.

[Mushe]

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! Feel better soon!

[jene]

Boo! Feel better!

[cinco]

Oh no! Feel better soon.

[Wines Not Whines]

Oh no. I hope you got some rest and that you can see a doctor.

[AAM2012]

I'm sorry and wish you a speedy recovery!

[cole]

Oh boo! Hope you feel better soon!

[jamalynn]

I wish we could somehow send you hot soup, helping hands, and a space heater! I'm so sorry Brit. Do you have a doc you can see soon? Pneumonia is nothing to mess with. hope you can make it through your meeting and you are well soon.

[kams]

Oh my gosh! Here I've been sorry for myself because H is out of town and I've had a cold! I wish I could come take your DD for a few days so you could rest. How miserable . Really hoping you feel a bit better in the morning.

[sadlebred]

Oh no! I hope you get some rest soon. Stay warm!

I went to the doctor this morning. He took my blood, did chest x-rays, declared that I had an 'acute lower respiratory sickness' and sent me home with three different medicines (an antibiotic and two dubious sounding herbal 'elixirs' - primula root and thyme extract). I will probably skip the herbal stuff.

Minus the antibiotic, that was four hours down the drain.

I finally have my temperature in check which makes me feel a lot less bad.

It was a bummer that he didn't issue me a doctor note after all that. The law in the UAE is that I have to present a doctor note if I take two or more consecutive sick days, so I guess I'm dragging my tail to work tomorrow no matter how bad I feel.

That doesn't sound like a very good visit, but hopefully your body will respond to the antibiotics. Did he say why he wouldn't give you a doctor note? Boo.

I really hope you get well soon!
