Back to the Land of the Living

Friday evening I begin to notice that I was cold......bone chilling cold and it wasn't even cold. I asked DH if he was cold and he wasn't. I put on a flannel shirt and sat down in the den with him to watch tv. I soon got up, got a quilt and and soon after got up and got another quilt. I was bone shaking cold. He finally found a thermometer and yep, I was feverish....101. His first thought was the FLU...........nope, I said.........I never get the FLU.........one of those lucky people, I guess. I never take a flu shot either until last year and I had a bad reaction to it, so our doctor told me not to take it again. However, I did get the FLU once about 5 years ago and had very vivid memories of thinking I was going to die. I had not had it since childhood, not even the winter DH and all 3 children had it! Try taking care of 3 children under 12 who all have the flu at the same time! I was out of work for a week! But, I knew Friday night I did not have the flu. Saturday, I spent the day going from the bedroom to the den and back, miserable and cold. I had no distinct symptoms other than fever and chills. But, I was miserable. I slept off and on all day. Sunday, I was better, still cold, but not as cold. Yesterday, the fever finally broke around 5:00 pm. Thank the good Lord! I was sick of that......whatever it was! DH wanted me to go to the doctor yesterday, but I didn't think it was necessary as I was better, not worse. So, whatever it was that hit me is gone (I know prayer helped) but, I did not get any sewing done! Not a stitch this weekend. I hope to get started on the BB's quilt this week as that quilt is just too beautiful not to make.

Make it a great day everyone and stay healthy!
