Sick...

I came down with something...probably the flu virus my niece had. And now I know why she was so lethargic and uncommunicative.

My body ached so much yesterday that I actually started crying. Yes, tears and all. I haven't cried over physical pain in I don't know how long. But my joints were burning and my muscles were sooooo achy. And all I could do was lie down. Ibuprofen helped a little, and at least it got me through the night so I could sleep. And the fever and chills...man was it awful.

Mostly the symptoms are gone. Not eating anything but crackers and drinking Sprite. Because my stomach can't take any more than that.

Why is it that our bodies must do this? I mean, isn't life tough enough without sickness? I just wonder why we have viruses that cause us to spew fluids from our bodies (to much detail?) and hurt all over. I know people have much harder physical ailments than my little flu bug that will probably be completely gone by tomorrow (cross my fingers!). And that makes me feel for them, too. I hope I never have to go through that. I wish no one did.
