So you remember how I said I was really excited to be going to NEBY Fest? Yeah, for weeks now I've been excited about this. What truly sucks is that I am SICK IN MY HOTEL ROOM for the second day in a row. The doctor said it's "something viral" and that I should drink plenty of fluids and rest up. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Let me cite my record for the past few months. NYC, November 2004: Food poisoning. Louhelen Baha'i School, January 2005: messy head cold. The infamous NEBY fest in Connecticut, February 2005: "something viral." Something viral?!?! This is the wierdest viral something I've ever had...I'm hot and cold, achey, headachey, and kind of trippin in my head. My vision is kind of like a cartoon with too few frames...everyone's kind of in this jerky wierd motion. So. Annoying.

Hey honey!
I heard from my mom last night that you poor soul ended up on the emergency room. Man what a stinker that muct be! Well, I am taking the bar exam this week so I understand about terrible feelings! At least Dallas in October was great. It meant so much to be there with you!! Get well soon --I will pray that this viral thing stops!
Love,
Artemis
Sorry you're feeling cruddy. That just-as-bad-as-the-flu viral something hit fiercely in TN a few weeks ago. We've had a ton of "I feel like crap" complaints in the ER. Worst part is that there's little to do but ride it out. Keep up the fluids...usually Gatoraide-type drinks are best since they replace electrolytes, too (especially if you're hugging the toilet). If they didn't tell you already...ibuprofen every 6 hours, Tylenol every 4 to help keep you moving. You could safely take up to 600mg of ibuprofen (with food) and 650mg of tylenol (1000mg for high fevers) at a time to make you a little less miserable. Putting them on a staggard schedule keeps you from being miserable between doses. *Disclaimer: If you're already taking meds with these added in, don't take more. If you've been told by your family MD not to take one of these meds due to chronic health problems, ignore what I wrote.* There's your friendly house call for the morning! Feel better soon and have a safe trip!
Posted by: Amanda on February 21, 2005 06:55 AMSpeaking from someone in TN that is sick with that 'as bad as the flu' stuff, this sucks. Over the past week and a half I've been sick 3 separate times, consecutively. Just when I thought I was better, I'm down with something else. Pisses me off, man.
What's worse is we had Ruhi Book 1 with the youth this weekend, and I started with them before I felt sick again...so I got progressively worse, and cranky (Chase + Cranky + Ruhi = Near removal of adminstrative rights)then I infected one of the youth who were with us. Now there are bacteria having a study circle in my throat.
Posted by: Chase on February 21, 2005 09:05 AMOooh... You're missing your in-between frames. You're just seeing the keyframes of life (nerdy animator talk) Oh dear! I wish there was something I could do for you.
Posted by: Myk on February 21, 2005 02:36 PMYou ended up in the emergency room? Poor thing! Are you going to be ok to setup at your place tomorrow night? Let me know if you need me to come early.

For a pick-me-up, try singin' Q-tip's standard but changing the words to "viral thing." Unh. Yeah. Just a viral thing.
Posted by: george on February 22, 2005 10:07 AMI hope you feel better real soon Lacey. Being sick sucks.
Posted by: Krissy on February 22, 2005 11:32 PMHi, everyone!
Thanks for your well wishes, I really appreciate it. I'm feeling better now than I did last weekend but I still have to take it easy. It's kind of complicated, but I'm on the road to recovery more or less. :)
Artemis: I'll continue to say prayers for you and my friend Tahirih for your bar exams!!!!

Happy Birthday, Lacey!!!!
I came here to tell you that I hope you're feeling better and then I read that it's your birthday, and you're sick. How incredibly awful is that? I'm so sorry sweetie. So get better soon and hopefully you feel like celebrating yourself soon.
