Sick – Need a Break

June 27, 2011 by Darlene

Hey everyone, sorry I’ve been missing in action lately but I got awfully sick last week and I’m still not up to par yet. It started with a sore throat that got continually worse until on Saturday I paged my doctor who told me that if my temperature went any higher I had to go to emergency. Well I don’t know about your health care system but here you don’t want to go to emergency unless your unconscious. Otherwise you will find yourself sitting there for 5 or 6 hours, probably more waiting to be seen. Who wants to do that when they’re sick already.

Lucky for me my temperature didn’t go higher and last night finally my throat started feeling better. Today it’s still sore but nothing like it was and I was finally able to eat. I’ve pretty much had nothing to eat for the better part of 4 days now. I’m hoping that all this means I’m now on the way to recovery but I’m pretty weak and tired and my energy level is zero.

Consequently, my blog will be on a break this week. I’m going to take the week and get to feeling better. I haven’t gotten any of the books read that I was supposed to. I was to have reviewed South of Superior by Ellen Airgood today and needless to say I haven’t. I finally feel like reading a bit today so I’ve started it so hopefully I’ll get it done here in the next few days. The other things that were booked for this week will just have to moved. I need to feel better!

If I feel good enough to blog by the end of the week I will; if not I’ll see you all back here next week. I hope you are all having a much better time of it than I have been!

    Oh, goodness, Dar, that is a shame. Don't even worry about the things that were scheduled. Life happens and sometimes, we have to just adjust. Take care of yourself and maybe watch some good movies or read some comfort reads. Summer is yucky time to be sick. We'll look for you when you're feeling better. Hugs!

    Feel better! I spent the past 5 days with food poisoning and a food reaction to gluten. Not fun.

    Wow! I hope you continue to feel better. I have waited at most 2ish hours for an emergency room visit – but it isn't usually that bad.

    So sorry to hear that you are not well, and are feeling so yucky, Dar. I know what it's like to be too sick to even read, and I can imagine that along with your feeling under the weather that you are also frustrated. I hope that you feel better soon and don't worry. The reviews and the blog will just have to wait. It's ok. Take very good care of yourself my friend, and get well soon.
