less than fun week

Well I thought I would share with you my down time, as so far my experiences have been so positive. I had my first spell of something (NYD not yet diagnosed!!) Being overseas does not change a persons ingrain habits. I deal with sickness over here pretty much like at home. I assume nothings wrong, I think I can sleep anything off, and then when I don't, I think what I have is the worse possible thing in the world and that I am suffering like no one else has. At the moment of most pain I can possibly endure I finally, like some test against illness breakdown and take something for pain. (does that sound about right Rick and Michelle?)
Well I did get tested for Malaria and Likely had a flue. My past week was spent crawling out of bed to the hammock, then getting restless with he hammock and crawling back to bed. Well today I am functioning almost normal (for me). I can actually be up for hours at a time and can walk down the street to my usually email place. some early signs that I was not myself was early this week (when I was still walking) I was walking so slow that the local people were passing me!! I got feeling very weak, weaker than a Kitten! (that's for you chianta's girls that remember my spell last summer) at one point I was struggling to turn over in bed.
Well I am working my way to going to work and hopefully I will be walking and running in no time. Take care.

It would seem I share your pain in sympathy. I read your note about your illness, noticed a bodily movement and for the rest of yesterday felt quite low. I went to bed at 8:30, tossed all night, ache and cold sweats for which I went bed to hot tub through the night. Hardly a week of jungle fever(I'm feeling better this morning)but it would seem I feel you, way over there. Send happy thoughts please.
