After reading posts from a few other AW'ers that have the flu, but are using the down time to write, I decided it was time for a flu thread that was a little lighter in nature. You can complain here, talk about cool fever induced hallucinations and brag about all the writing you got done while quarantined. Come on in, have some tea or pass someone a bucket. This is the sick thread.
(No conspiracy theories or arguments about vaccines here please. And I would like to pre-emptively say that I understand that some people are far too ill with this to be "light" about it. This is not meant to degrade a serious situation.)
I'll start. I had a fever of 103 last night. I was seeing things and it felt like my joints were disintegrating. But now, my fever is controlled with meds and I'm actually keeping water and Gatorade down. YAY! I also got over 4k written on my WIP since yesterday...and that's with frequent hot baths and naps thrown in (and one last use of the bucket).
Goals for the day:
1.) write another 4K.
2.) Remember not to nap through med time or I'll wake up feeling like a train is parked on my chest.
3.) Advance to solid foods. I'm thinking toast.
Okay, your turn.
P.S. If anyone else hallucinated, I would love to hear about it. Mine was non-sensical but a little creepy too. It involved a pale man in a chair, a dark room and a number sequence that is now engraved in my memory.
