Well I'm just moving right along. Temp hit 102.4 last night. That's after a bout of horrible chills of course. This morning I logged in at 101.6 I believe. Can't eat breakfast, took only the antibiotic which ended up leaving a nice metallic taste in my mouth. Finally I took my Glipizide and Prevacid so I could have some cooling no sugar Blue Bell vanilla ice cream. Is that no sugar or no added sugar? What the heck.

It is 9:36 a.m. and I guess my UA culture isn't back yet. Can't imagine why not since I left it at 8:30 a.m. two days ago.

I wonder if I could just run around the house in the nude and maybe I'd cool off.

Here let me just leave something funny I got.

George Carlin's Views on Aging

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life
! You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.

But! wait!! !
You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30,  PUSH 40, REACH 50 and make it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into ! your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST
92.'

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

I think it's kind of heroic of you to post an entry at all, feeling so bad. I hope it turns around for you soon. Thanks for the helpful dose of George Carlin. A little smile never hurts.

I've always liked that George Carlin bit. 

Want me to call the doctor's office and harrass them for you?  : )

Here's wishing you a speedy and complete recovery, Bonnie.  Sounds like a nasty infection(?) or whatever.  I'll lift my glass to you in about five minutes and toast your returned health.

I hope they find quickly the cause of the high temp . There is necessarily an infection somwhere but where ? I hope the RMI will say that and perhaps the antibiotics will be sufficient . Frankly I wish .

Take care of you my friend

Love
Michel
