I felt completely fine last night when I went to bed. Around 3 something this morning I started tossing and turning and just couldn't get comfortable. At 6:30 I felt terrible and decided to get up and take my temperature just in case. It was 101.0! I don't even remember the last time I had a fever. By 9:00 it was up to 102. Other than the typical fever related body aches and stuff, the only other symptom I had was a really severe headache. Tomorrow was supposed to be my last day at my job, and when I called in this morning my boss acted like she thought I was faking it.
I went to the doctor at 11:30 and by that point I could barely even sit up straight, it just hurt too much to hold my head up. The doctor said I have an Enterovirus and thought I was on the verge of having meningitis. Great. She said absolutely no way to working with children, so I guess I'm missing my last two days at my job. Oh well. The only thing that sucks is that those two extra days of pay would have been helpful b/c my next job doesn't start until Sept 7th. My doctor said this can last anywhere from 3 to 6 days, and to expect to feel terrible for the rest of the week. Oh boy, I can't wait.
Wish me luck in recovering from this quickly. I'm not looking forward to more of this. At least Tylenol and Ibuprofen are keeping my fever at bay for now.
