Another week has gone by in a flash but for all the wrong reasons.

On Monday I felt a little weird physically but thought it was just normal 'don't feel so good groggy on Monday'. By Monday night I was shivering and aching all over and knew something wasn't right. Went to bed early hoping I'd sleep it off. Tuesday I get up for school feeling terrible. I take my temperature and it's 37.8 or so. My body was really aching all over and my eyes hurt when I blinked them. I couldn't bring myself to eat anything till just before I went down to the clinic after lunchtime. By then my temperature was 38.8. Very scary. Felt terrible, dragged myself back home and basically lay in bed till my mum got home and John came over with dinner.

Wednesday I felt slightly better, temperature went down to the 37 range and body was aching slightly less. But I felt nauseous the whole day. When I didn't eat I'd feel weak and have a headache, after I ate I'd feel sick and have a headache. I think I spent most of Wednesday ping-ponging between these two extremes.

Thursday I went to school and barely got there whole. Felt so car sick all I could do when I got there was to flop over my desk and hope I didn't throw up. After some porridge I felt a little better and was able to sit and chat with some of the year 2 students. It seems like 2 year one girls set off the alarm on Wednesday night which resulted in poor Winnie going back to school at 11pm at night to deal with the Cisco people, verifying nothing got stolen etc etc. Anyway we found out who it was who set the alarm off. I managed to drag myself off to lunch with John before getting a cab home. Spent some time playing EQ with Zain and later John, which was probably a mistake because by the time I crawled into bed I was shivering and nauseous again, my stomach threatening to rid itself of dinner. Horrible.

It's now 6.45am Friday morning, I don't have any lessons today and have a meeting in the afternoon. My stomach's still in bad shape and it's acting funny. I just forced myself to eat a slice of bread and the horribly familiar feeling of headache and nausea is returning. I don't think I'll be able to stomach (literally) a ride to school, much less sit through a 2.5 hour meeting in the afternoon. Ugghhhh. I'm gonna drag myself back down to the clinic later and find out what's wrong with me. Don't remember the last time I was this sick.

Ok I'm gonna stop here and lie down a bit.
