Pyrexia Superba
Although I've been lucky enough to last all the way through the first possible date for closing service without any health issues, I have now Fallen Ill. It's like some sort of bad joke- Healthy through service? Staying to the end? Trying to do some last minute projects and be a good volunteer? End up diddled by the dastardly digit of destiny!
That might be an overstatement for the sake of alliteration. What happened is that I am really sick, with a few weird, painful symptoms. To wit:
-sore throat
-sore neck (swollen lymph nodes- 2 on each side at present count!)
-raging, erratic temperature (between 99.8 and 103) and concomitant chills
-mysterious head pain, affecting the top of my head, and only occurring when I move quickly
The doctors at the city clinic logically decided it was a kidney infection. The doctors from the PC medical office decided not to mess around with local diagnoses, and told me to come into town. So I'm here now, hoping that 'upper respiratory infection' means 'something that can be quickly fixed with drugs.' Ugh.
