Got up this morning, got as far as the bathroom, got dizzy, sat down, got escorted back to bed by my mam who informed me I had a temperature, dosed me with paracetamol and basically instructed me to take it easy and drink lots.
I really really hate this thing. I think the last time a bug flattened me so comprehensively was either the salmonella or freshers flu. The salmonella was more recent, but freshers flu had that same all-encompassing badness going on.
On the positive side, my head does feel clearer more or less, I can actually think, though managing to do so for sustained periods is a challenge. The nausea has also subsided to a degree; I managed some food last night and felt better for it, tried to have some breakfast this morning and that didn't work so well.
It's only Wednesday morning and this week feels *really* long already. I'm hoping I don't give this to my parents, they're off to Egypt next week and if they get this... I dont want them to lose their holiday, but equally I don't want them to try and go if they do get it, because the travel and climate changes would only make it worse.
Anyway, if my head stays clear enough I might actually attempt to watch a dvd or something today.
