Worst Weekend Evar!
My sister and her hubby came to visit for about a week. They decided they wanted to go to Lagoon Saturday since it’s been nearly a decade since we’ve been. Figured the younger siblings would really enjoy it. That morning I have a massive allergy attack thanks to the storm the night before. Not even Claritin D could phase it. But I figured I’d suck it up and try it anyway. I only did three rides and a family picture before I couldn’t take it anymore. Two out of three of those rides were fun at least.
Got home and rested a bit, then tried to hang out with Mike. But all of a sudden my voice cuts out completely. I don’t really raise my voice, even on roller coasters, so I’ve never “lost” it before. So I went upstairs to rest some more. Noticed the temperature was 76 on the way to my room. Crawled under some pretty hefty blankets and started shivering and convulsing like crazy. Starting thinking, “Shit, I have a fever”. But before I could think or do much else I became completely delirious for several hours. When I came to I tried getting in the tub to try and keep it under control, but that wasn’t helping much. After about 7 hours I finally had to text message my mom. “Bad fever. Delirious. Lost voice. Bad pain. Help” was the message. That’s actually I was was talking too. Could use one or two words at a time. Not that my lack of a voice was allowing any of that to come out. My back was in incredible pain as well.
Between extra strenght Tylenol, some funky health drinks of my dads, and lots of very cold baths we were able to keep my temperature from going over 103 and eventually got it down to 100. I could walk around a bit and even watch some T.V. to help with the boredom. Then I laid down for a nap and it spiked again. Even in the bath it wasn’t going down. Was eating ice to lower my internal body temp until I lost all feeling to my arms and legs. Couldn’t move my fingers at all and my arms and legs felt like a million needles jabbing them.
But my temperature eventually calmed down again and last night it didn’t spike again. Still hovering at 100 though. At least I can keep down solid foods now and walk around the house. But I missed the chance to get the paperwork in for our new place and they guy just left for the holidays. Not that I’ll be up for moving stuff anytime soon. I did talk to him though and he will still hold it for us until he gets back. He’s getting offers like crazy, so glad we jumped on it.
