not doing.. great

hiding away .. hoping to get better soon. matt and i play cards to pass the time

it's hard enough to keep a blog let alone keep a blog when sick. since st. helene i have been not well. that night i began to get itchy everywhere. not a gentle mild mannered type of itch but the kind that makes you uncivilized and insane. the jumping around in circles going nuts kind of itch. then the headache came, then the upset stomach, then the sore throat .. oh.. did i mention i was insanely itchy?? i keep a butter knife beside me at all times (in various rooms) because it works so well as a back scratch-er. matt gets totally grossed out by this. does he think i would not wash it before i used it to make him a sandwich??!! now there's an idea... :-)

it has been SO HOT that I have almost boarded a plane and left this little piece of paradise about 4 times already! canadian cool where are you?

so...after about 4 days of itching I broke out in a rash that covered my whole sorry body.

i finally went to the doctor that day.
he said i had a viral rash.
he gave me 3 days of prednizone (spelling) and some ointment for the rash.

it helped.

but now I am still getting the headaches and the upset stomach. did a stool sample today just to rule out some nasty bug.

so that's all folks.
i've been sick.
sick of being sick.

and oh.. don't get me started but i also think i am getting hit hard with menopause too.
yikes. hot flashes here take on a whole new scary dynamic with temperatures of over 31 C and humidity at about 80%.

let me just say it's been scary around here for matt and bob. oh yeah.. please pray... i really need it right now.
