Have 102.1 fever-taking DS PTSD break

Community Leadermujicaptsd

I had a rough night last night and today twice my thermometer has shown me to be running a fever of 102.1.  I have chronic kidney disease and diabetes, so at 61 I'm in the high risk group for COVID-19.  My buddy of 37 years, Deb, died of it in 2 days on March 13th.



I called a member of my church board to cancel being their guest speaker tomorrow.  I called my next door neighbor to let her know I'd like to get to the ER for a COVID-19 test.  I collapsed for reasons unknown in the night Feb. 24th and spent a night in the hospital for observatioin and neurological and cardiological tests that were inconclusive.



I live alone, so I'm scared.  If I'm not on here as your CL for a few days this is why.  Hope to be back.

Thanks, AJ. Those prayers got me through. Sweating through the fever left me weak, but school's out now so I can rest up.

Thanks. Bummer, though, today the fever came back, up 2.8 degrees again. Oh, boy.

My fever did go back down, y'all. Thanks for your confidence, hopes, and prayers that it would. I'm going to rest up today now.

It just took longer after the fever went down for me to get that rest though. To start feeling energetic again. I slept all day and all night last night, so it took that amount of rest. Wow!

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
