A lost day ceded to this cold - or is it the flu? Sleeping, napping, cuddling with the hounds in the grips of fatigue and coughing. I have been bumping up against - and sometimes exceeding - the 100.4 temperature mark that signaled an immediate no-questions-asked trip to the ER when I was doing chemo and was deemed neutropenic. I suppose I have an almost Pavlovian response of panic when I look at the thermometer and that 100.4 number. Somehow, this fever unnerves me more than my wracking cough. Just a cold, just the flu, just a fever, just a cough BUT I still have a mini freak out. Exactly how crummy did I feel? I canceled on a chance to meet up with dear friends from Arlington. Yup, shackled to the couch by germs.
