Mending

[ellenmillion]

I can be upright for nearly an hour, where upright involves no use of the brain or manual dexterity. (seriously, you should have seen my struggles to get the juice open... That alone required a three hour nap.) mostly, I can manage to feed and hydrate myself, and the hot/cold cycles are more moderate and not as fast. Most wonderfully, the splitting pain has faded to only a dull ache, and I coughed up a bucket of yellow jellyfish that had apparently taken residence in my lungs, so I can actually breathe again. More later, I can feel my upright hour wearing out and it's taken me a stupidly long time to type just this. Thanks for your good wishes and healthy thoughts!

I'm glad the pain has faded to a dull ache....you're making me queasy with your description of the lung situation...

Sounds like the flu, is it the flu?

Yellow Jellyfish

I hate yellow jellyfish, but their cousin the dreaded brown jellyfish require a hospital stay to get rid of them....hope you fell better soon and stay away from any jellyfish.

Reading that made me suddenly need to cough. I hope you feel better soon Ellen

Healing vibes for you....

I'm glad you're feeling (somewhat) better! That, er, does sound exactly what I had. If it's any consolation, once the energy starts coming back, it seems to come back pretty fast as long as you don't push yourself too hard.

Hope the jellyfish decamp very soon. No one should have jellyfish lungs.

Urgh...but glad to hear you are feeling better. Take it easy and take care of yourself.

Here's hoping you get better as quickly as you fell ill! Sounds miserable. :(
