The opposite direction

So this illness does not appear to be following the normal slow upward curve to recovery I am accustomed to.  After feeling like I was in a coma on Saturday I had some improvement through mid-day Monday.  However since then I feel like I have slipped backwards with hacking, body aches, and lethargy that have had me laying back in bed a lot.  I just have no energy.

Last night I was still running a temperature of just under 101 and had another poor night of sleep, accented by coughing fits.  I woke up this morning not feeling significantly better but decided I would drag myself into work anyway.  I made an appointment at our employee health clinic for later in the day although I really think there is very little they can do for me at this point.  I have a feeling I just have to ride it out to it’s miserable conclusion.

Yesterday Cindy had her first session as an assistant track and field coach for one of the local middle schools.  There were a surprising number of hoops that had to be jumped through just to qualify her to take the position.  She said she had a lot of fun working with the kids.  It’s good experience for Cindy and yet another thing to add to her expanding fitness professional resume.
