***WHINING ALERT!***
So this flu is not getting better. I was optimistic last night when my temperature was 100F, but this morning, back up to 102F.
I went to the walk-in clinic last night, and the doctor said my temperature was only 101, didn't really check much of anything except to see that my lungs didn't have fluid in them... oh well, he says it's just the flu, but he also didn't have the skills/knowledge to comment on whether my Intercranial Hypertension was giving me the headaches because he's not trained in that area... and said I should call my neurologist - like on Monday... what the heck is Monday going to do for me??
My BIGGEST concern is my 5K tomorrow. I've raised so much money, I'm so excited to do it, and if I'm still sick, I can't do it! My DH commented that while I want to prove to everyone that I can do it, collapsing mid-way through the course and ending up at the hospital hardly proves anything - and I hate it, but he's right.
The other oddity, is that I've been checking my weight, and it is showing 266 - which is 6.4 pounds down. I am assuming it's water because I'm sweating from the fever... so not sure what I should record tomorrow, but I guess I'll cross that tomorrow when I get to it! But I am still eating my 1,500 calories - it's a struggle because I'm not hungry, but a starving girl won't give me the energy to get better!
I hope everyone is having a much better weekend than I am!
