Have you ever felt like each of your extremities had been freezing?
I know, sure we all have that if we lived in a northern climate and in fact I did live in the cold longer (New Jersey) than in this warmth in Florida…
You see, I was freezing so severely in my hands and feet with shivering and teeth chattering and all that that I had to put on socks and turn the air-conditioning all the way up and get in bed with three blankets covering me, crazy? Thankfully, Hubby was here to help with all that. While Skipper sat vigil on the bed with me, first across my pillow on my head then on my freezing feet, he instinctively seems to know when I am not right, although some may argue that’s all of the time….bud, dump, bum…
Hubby checked my vitals; and my blood pressure was within the normal range as well as my pulse… the only thing that was slightly off was my temperature it was up to 100.6 not too bad by any standards but worthy of monitoring due to the other nasty symptom.
The whole thing started when just about to sit down to eat lunch around noon and lasted for less than three hours, downright weird, hmm?
I thought perhaps I got stung of something since I am allergic to bee stings but no bees inside, but the reaction almost came across as an allergic reaction… Hubby did look up online by surfing what it could be, and it did say that it could be the beginnings of a viral or bacterial infection.
I reassured him that we have that prescription of Amoxicillin still that the doctor switched to the Z-pack that time, and so if an emergency arises we have that covered.
But no, after a while I got out of bed and Hubby made me some green tea and that is why I had to get out of bed, I spill everything if I try to drink or eat there; we have used our lap tray on the lounge chair in the living room for me there since it is easier for Hubby and the kitchen is adjacent to it. I felt well enough to ask for another tea.
It really did warm me from the inside out.
As I realized that Hubby was feeling the heat since according to our indoor thermometer it was now 84 degrees inside! And I still was wearing the three blankets and shivering a wee bit, but I slowly after downing the two teas experimented with removing one blanket at a time, in about half hour intervals.
And surprising after a while I began feel better and decided to finish my lunch, my temperature was going down, now at 99.9, and last taken right on target of 98.6 and so I put the thermometer away and wondered what had happened, really odd, huh?
Any-who here I sit hours later after eating dinner and barely feeling any remnants of the ills that were pretty close to a hospital admittance in fact Hubby had mentioned it, but I am OK now and I do hope that was just an aberration or some such thing, a fluke, who knows…Heaven knows I got enough going on normally with all my other stuff so who needs more, really?
And tomorrow Hubby and I will do what we were going to do today, maybe and I will report back here, all righty now… on this strange unexplained episode, tis the season coming up next month, huh?
Allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you to kindly count all your blessings and to share all those overages and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
