Feeling like a human being again

By , July 19, 2011 6:46 am

I got extremely ill at work yesterday before my flight left for Louisville. I felt irritated,  dizzy, feverish and sweaty, yet had goosebumps and chills at the same time… and a few other symptoms that I will leave out. I was really worried I wouldn’t be able to sit on an airplane for an hour and a half (which turned out to be much more). I sent my symptoms to my sister and Steven, who looked up what I should do and some Urgent Care addresses in Kentucky and Indiana. I downed a bunch of water and miraculously made it through the flight. I was feeling so much better by the time I got off the plane, but I still went to Urgent Care, and sure enough, had an infection. Yay, antibiotics!

The whole reason I am sharing this is because I could not believe how much happier I felt when I got off that plane and was feeling better. I was almost giddy with excitement that I felt so much better, more comfortable and like a human being. I think I sometimes take my health for granted!

    Glad it was short-lived and you are feeling better. I can’t imagine having those symptoms while flying. It sounds like no fun at all.

      I really didn’t want to. But I didn’t even want to begin to think about how I would explain it if I didn’t!

    Glad you are feeling better! I think we all take for granted our health. That has to do with being sick or even injured!

    Glad you are feeling better! Take care of yourself! I probably would have been upchucking on the plane!

    I had a very weird episodic dizzy/nauseous, shaking, feverish spell about two weeks ago. Ear infection. Weird. I’m glad you’re better. I couldn’t even stand.

    Can I be super nosy and ask what kind of infection you had? Yesterday I got hit with really bad nausea/stomach cramps and today I feel like I have a bit of a fever. Just trying to decide if it’s a passing tummy thing or if I should go to the doc…

    I hear you – I had a recent health scare myself and it is really easy to forget how wonderful it is to just BE healthy/normal feeling.
    Glad you’re feeling better!
