So I went out to the bar with my husband to listen to his friends band. The band was ok, the venue was crappy so I couldn't really understand the lyrics, but hey. I only drank two beers the whole time we were there and we went to bed shortly after getting home. It was a pretty relaxing night.
Then I woke up about 5:45 in the morning with a feeling like a flaming knife was lodged in my throat. This used to happen when I went to a bar, because smoking was permitted in Oregon until January this year. Realizing it wasn't from the second hand inhalation I decided I probably slept with my mouth open and it was just dry so I went upstairs to get a drink. That didn't help it either.
When I was attending another college there was an out break of meningitis that originated from a bar and one student died - another had several amputations. I decided to go to the ER (why is it I always get sick after hours or a Sunday?) and my husband took me in.
By the time we were all ready and there I had developed a headache and my ears felt stuffed up. The doctor asked me if I had the flu shot this year and I didn't so he dubbed it the flu. But we're watching for changes that could indicated it is infectious mono.
I do have the body ache, head ache, a mild not too often cough, the sore throat is still here - but I just have a feeling that something else is going on here. I don't have a fever or chills ... Hmmm
To be continued ...
