After I ate dinner last night I stood up and immediately felt bad. Bad in a way I couldn't pinpoint--like I was ready to fall over, but for nor apparent reason. I went to the back and started getting chills. This was weird, because it was 100 degrees outside. I laid down and covered myself with a blanket and was still cold. I ended up under two comforters, and a bunch of pillows piled over me.

I went up to 102 pretty fast. It only lasted for a few hours, but it completely wiped me out. Now I feel hot, probably because I still have all those comforters on the bed and it is 80 degrees in here. But I don't feel sick or anything.

sounds like trout fever?

Could be. I was at the bookstore yesterday and read a little of a book written by Brautigan's daughter--hre reflections on life with him. It was good, but I was not in a mood to buy anything.

I once bought and read a dissapointing book by Kerouac's estranged daughter. On the other fin though, Mark Vonnegut's was a splendid tale.

I remember Mark Vonnegut's--it was about his journey into in and out of insanity or something. Would that have been written during the time we were in Germany?

Probably. It was something like,"Return To Eden" and talked about his schizophenia. Actually quite a frightening and vivid account. Horrific in it's implications to me as a young man at the time. The whole question of sanity/insanity was kinda blurred as I recall during that period. At least that is what I've been told.

Hope you get to feeling better soon. Sounds awful...

[myasma.livejournal.com]

It's a lot better now. Thanks!

Glad to hear you're on the mend. I noticed you had added me to your friends list so I added you too.

[myasma.livejournal.com]

I did. I came across your lj as the result of an interaction you had with someone else on my friend's list.

Should one check for SARS? Just to be on the safe (if paranoid) side?

And, I'm hoping your mind (if not your body) is feeling a bit better? I was wondering if you're in any support groups?

[myasma.livejournal.com]

It doesn't feel like SARS. And my mind is feeling better.
There is a support group, but I haven't been yet. Maybe it would be good to go.

Yikes- perhaps you should get checked out anyway, since Arlina is doing the chemo and is probably neutropenic (or however one spells the immune deficient state)?

I'm sorry to hear about your last few days- the only thing I have to compare it to was when my good friend was in the final stages of leukemia, and my feelings were constantly in swing from depressed to guilty for feeling even remotely happy about something else to more depressed. There isn't any comfort in it but I thoguth it might help to know you aren't alone.

Neutropenic is right--that's why she was in the hospital the other week. Last night I told her to stay away from me, and I started antibiotics this morning (leftovers--I'm such a bad nurse!).

AS I was shivering last night, I remebered that I had written a comment in your last post that said something like "crappy days will pass". Ha!

But I do feel better now, and am enjoying the almost intolerably hot day.
