I got something on the Thursday afternoon, before Tyr's surgery. Started with a sore throat, and that fuzzy ucky feeling of a low-grade fever. I woke up on Friday barely able to move, with fever, bone ache, sore throat, but managed to gety Tyr in then went home and slept...scary passing out barely moving sleep. But I would wake up every 20 mins completely disoriented. Saturday the fever spiked and the migraine hit, Sunday headache went away but the coughing started...constant, deep and painful, Monday was more of the same, but my nose started to run like crazy with the fever coming and going, coughing as well. Tuesday went back to work, but felt like I had been run over by a steamroller...every time I came home from work, I had to medicate the rats right after I came in, because I kept passing out at about 8-8:30 pm and then waking at 6 am the next day...I couldn't get enough sleep it seems...took me a week and a half to get over the lassitude. I don't even like to think about it, I was soooo sick. I missed a family function as well. My advice? Every chance you get to sleep, take it, who cares what time it is.
