So let’s recap my sleeping patterns since Wednesday, for those of you REALLY aiming to live vicariously through me.
Wednesday:
1:12 p.m: skipped lunch, walked to apartment, went straight to sleep
4:30 p.m: woke up to a lot of noise, took a bath to ease the discomfort of elevated body
temperature
5:00 p.m: fell back asleep
7:00 p.m: woke up…thought about walking to dinner, realized walking anywhere was not
an option. Drank juice, went back to sleep.
9:00 p.m.: woke up…contemplated whether or not life was worth living if the pain in my
head never stopped…that’s being over dramatic, but damn was I in pain.
9:15 p.m.: miserably fell back asleep, body hot and aching, head throbbing
Thursday:
5:30 am: woke up…talked to flatmates about whether or not I should go to work or stay
home….decided to stay home. Fell back asleep
11:00 am: was kicked out of my bed by the cleaning crew…typed yesterdays blog
12:00 p.m: laid back down, slept
1:00 p.m.: walked to the villa to try and eat lunch…got there and wanted nothing
2:00 p.m: came back to apartment and fell back asleep
7:00 p.m: went to villa to try this whole food thing again…I ate a sandwhich and an apple
8:00 p.m.: went to bed
Friday:
6:30: woke up and took a shower
so there…from 1:15 p.m Wednesday to 6:30 a.m. Friday, I have been awake for maybe 3 hours, and have been sleeping for something like 35 hours? And even now, I feel like I could go right back to sleep. It’s Friday so no one works today…usually on Friday’s I like to lay out by the pool but the idea of being in the sun makes me nauseous. That is not good considering my field of work. After talking over some of my symptoms with the director and others, some think I may have actually had sunstroke/heatstroke. I guess it’s possible but I don’t recall it being particularly hot on Wednesday, maybe 85 or something. All I know is that I’m still tired but I don’t feel a complete inability to function, so I guess that’s an improvement. Also my appetite is coming back. This morning I woke up and made eggs and had some fruit.
The rest of the day will be spent in bed reading. Wish on my behalf that I can go back to work tomorrow :(

Ok, so this part maybe I don't want to experience vicariously or otherwise, but I want you to know that I would have taken the pain and the illness myself in order to spare you. Of course, I have access to stronger pain meds, too. Seriously, though, I hope you feel better. I am growing more and more concerned for you and can't wait for you to come home. Did I tell you that an archeological anomaly was found to be buried under our pool? We will be taking down the pool in May and we would really be honored to have such a distinguished archeologist as yourself to help with the dig. We are thinking that after you dig everything up, we can plant a garden since the "anomaly" is said to be great for agriculture crops. So come home and dig here!! ;)
Wow Kelly- It sounds like you have had a rough go of it the last few days. I hope you really are feeling better. You said you were feverish but how feverish is feverish? If you are still not feeling A-1 than you really do need to take it easy. Please take it easy! Can I call and talk to you or can you call me? I would definetely feel better if I heard your voice. If not please either blog or email me back to let me know how you are doing.------Sending my love and hugs to help you heal--Love you - Aunt Marcia
I am posting again because as usual I am not sure my first post went thru. I am so sad that you are not feeling well. What is feverish? Is it low grade (98.9 to 100) or mid grade (100.1 to 102.3) or high (102 plus)? By the way I am giving you some leniency with my mid grade range! It sounds like you need to rest until you are much better. Please rest until you are much better! And eat well of course. Can I call you or can you call me. I would feel much better if I could speak to you. If not please blog or email back to let me know how you are doing. -----I am sending lots of love and hugs to help you heal. --Love You -- Aunt Marcia
