I just had a call from the doctor’s office a little while ago with the results of the lab work. The good news from the phone call is that it’s not swine flu. (I’m slightly disappointed by that one; I was kind of enjoying the novelty of being the first person I know to get it. If I’m gonna be miserable, I at least want something unique!)
Also good is that my energy levels seem to be a little up from yesterday and my voice is working a little better. I’ve been concerned about a repeat of “The Great Silence” of 2002-2004, so it’s comforting to have my voice working a little better.
Bad news is, all the symptoms are still there. Still coughing up a storm, still generally sore (though not quite as bad), still running a fever. Stomach’s still not sure about food, but it’s willing to go along with the concept.
I was in bed asleep by 10 last night. The only difficulty is that with all the rest I’ve been getting, when I woke up at 4:30, I couldn’t fall back to sleep.
