Unexpected

It hit me like a tidal wave. First, the fatigue on Tuesday. No biggie. I stay up way too late, so it was easy to ignore. Then the cough began on Wednesday morning. By that evening I was miserable, and had a night of coughing so hard I'd nearly pee myself. Every breath of air in seemed to set off another spasm of coughs, with the added bonus of swollen glands, so swallowing was a bit of a chore,as well. I awoke with no voice. Me. The jabberbox. No talkies. I got to the doctor's office,(praise be to Mandi, for opening and keeping the shop open yesterday!) and left with an inhaler and four other perscriptions. I finally got home around two-ish, and loaded up on the meds and the super-duper cough syrup, and apart from waking twice to re-medicate, slept over seventeen hours straight through. Wow. I still feel like I've cracked every rib in my body, and the cough shows no signs of abating, but I think I can make it through the day anyway. I have lots of "sit down" jobs to do at the shop (like getting the rest of the kidsilk haze split out) so hopefully I won't have to over-exert. I'll try and get some photos posted later today, when I get into town. C
