Saturday

under the weather ~


I am soooooooo bummed.  I have been sooooooooo sick.  Sweats and the chills, weaker than weak, dizzy, headache, nausea, leg cramps, diarrhea, pain in my jaw, pain in my chest ... just plain sick!

I did end up in the emergency room on Wednesday (that was day four of this), after having such leg cramps and pain in my jaw on Tuesday night.... thinking that possibly it was my heart going haywire again.  But that all checked out okay.  The doc did say that possibly I did have some plaque let loose that temporarily clogged and then flushed through again.   Knowing that the ticker was okay... they sent me home to sweat it out ... and sweat it out I have been.  I haven't sweated this much since I was in high school track.

Today is day 7 of this crappy whatever I got going on.  It is also the opening day of the Wisconsin gun deer season.  I wanted to be one of the 600,000 hunters out there, sitting at the TajMelhal ~ that my family so endearingly constructed for me and I'm so dang weak I couldn't even carry my bullets, let alone the rifle.  The season runs for nine days ... so maybe I'll snap out of this and get some hunting time in.  If not, I guess there's always muzzle season or next years rifle season.

Well... I'm outta here ... heading back to bed.  Sorry I haven't been visiting any blogs lately; but as soon as I can sit at my computer without it giving me a migraine headache from the glare I'll pop in :)

Until next time...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.

  2. Smart to get yourself checked out and glad to know it wasn't your heart. That sounds like some of the side effects I go through on certain medications. Statins gave me major leg cramps, by the way. I can't take them. Hope you feel better soon!

  9. I hear you. You are miserable. It's rotten. But you gotta stay in bed. REST. Drink plenty of fluids. You know the drill. I hope you beat this bug soon. Glad it wasn't your heart. My husband has been very sick too. He has COPD and needs a pacemaker so docs are watching him closely. he's on his 2nd round of antibiotics, nebulizers, etc. Take care.

  10. Mel,
    I hope you are feeling better then when I talked to you yesterday. I will call and check on you either tomorrow night or Monday sometime. Have the girls make you a kettle of chicken soup, after all they had a wonderful teacher! Times like this I wish I lived close enough to do it for you myself.

  12. Mel, I'm so sorry you're sick and missed opening day. We had a great day here (40 deg in the morning and 62 by noon)with plenteous sun. No deer. Saw 3 does only.

    You sound just like the symptons of malaria. Have you been to Africa lately? I pray you are well by the time you read this. May the Lord let you sense His healing touch - in Jesus' name. Fred

  15. It's Tues night as I type this. I tried to call to check in how you're doing but it seems all the phone lines in your area are out of service. I heard that the line was cut somewhere south in Wisconsin. Don't know for sure. Anyways, hope you are feeling better.
