Deathly ill?

 I don't think I have ever been sick quite like this before.  Once on the farm,  I had Bells Palsy so I didn't feel the pain when I got pharynhitis. I had a 105 degree fever and terrible vertigo before I knew that I was sick. It looked like everything was just flying around my room,  not in circles around me but just a chaos of movement.  This morning was maybe a little less frightening than that but still terrifying.  I was awake most of the night shivering and freezing,  but I was too weak to get up and even grab my coat hanging on my bedroom door.  I piled my pillows on top of me and shivered under them for hours.  By morning I realized that I needed to take Tylenol and bring the fever down but I kept dropping the pills.  I would see them land on my bed but when I tried to pick them up they would just vanish.  I tried to find my phone and call for help and I would see my phone in different places but every time I reached for it it would disappear.  I realized that I was hallucinating but knowing that didn't help.  I got out of bed to go get help but fell down over and over trying to get to my door.  I did get out of my room at some point and told Jess and/or Kira that I was sick.  I understood that I should go to an ER but argued.  I couldn't drive.  Kira had to go to work around noon. I was still freezing and unsure of everything around me. Kira called Jenise who came and took me to Immanuel.  They probably saved my life. I was so dehydrated from the fever that my blood pressure barely registered and my oxygen was dropping below 80%. I thought that they wouldn't look at the whole picture,  the fall,  possible head injury,  that could cause all of my symptoms except the fever, the possibility that several things were going on with me,  but they listened to Jenise and checked everything.  No brain bleed, just very ill. They suspect it started with a virus but was now a bacterial bronchitis headed for pneumonia.  It was a long wait.  I felt bad for Jenise,  8 1/2 months pregnant! having to sit with me all day.  Then I had another First. I fell asleep while taking to Jenise.  Several times. Passed out, fell asleep, just kept checking out.  Poor Jenise didn't know what to think!!

They let me come home with prescriptions BUT it is labor day and the pharmacies are closed,  of course.  I'm a little afraid to go to sleep tonight but I am prepared this time.  I'm taking tylenol to control the fever and have my big coat on the bed in case I wake up freezing again.  I was hydrated thru an IV at the hospital and I'm making sure to keep drinking.  

I have to survive to meet Elliot. ❤️
