Under The Weather: A Battle

April 04, 2005

After doing errans today around town, I dropped Ryno off on upper Hawthorne and made my way home to work the rest of the day. Now, the whole weekend I had some sort of headache deal going on, where, whenever I looked up (keeping my head stationary and still, only moving my eyes), or up and over to the right or left, I had this weird, dull ache that seemed to be right behind my eyeballs. Kind of scary. Head cold? Sinus trouble? Onset of blindness?Then today, I�m just feeling groggy and unmotivated. I had a ton of stuff to tear into, but just couldn�t get going. Now, this is where things get interesting. Suddenly, my head takes on this odd, cloudy feeling�like everything is sort of slow and dreamy around me. My balance felt a little skewed too, as I made my way up the stairs to go try and �sleep it off.�Well, I laid there for a good hour, feeling completely outta my head. Then I grabbed my little digi-thermometer and �checked the oil� underneath my tongue:102.5 degrees!My head ached, my neck was on fire, my shoulders ached, I was cold and hot at the same time�Where the fuck had this come from? I was out of it. Detached. Down for the count. Little bit scared too.Luckily, Ryno nursed me back to health with some sort of cold/sinus/flu pills from the supermarket. I never take the stuff, preferring to just let the ol� DDC constitution battle the issue on it�s own. These things worked. The fever �broke� a couple hours later, I did a little sweating (�that �cold sweat� stuff�) and now feel a little worn out and loopy, but, sorta back to normal.It�s just amazing what yer body will go through, here and there. Amazing, and scary. Any insight on what this might have been is appreciated. Did I have some sort of fever? I really don�t know.- - - -Tomorrow, I'm gonna get back into it and get some work done. Knock on wood, knock on wood.- - - -Oh yeah. In other news, my parents got an iSight today. More of this sort of trouble to follow, we'd bet. (That's my dad "showing a little crack" to express the love he feels for me.)
