Thanks!

Thanks for all the well-wishes from everyone and thanks from everyone at work that has offered their help...it means a lot. Today was the best I've felt for a couple weeks. Still need naps more frequently than Mari does but I'm a little more coherent in between. Even managed to get the laundry done, not folded but done...so I now have clean clothes to wear (thank goodness I love lounge pants, flannel PJs, etc because that is what I've been living in and I have lot of them).

The house is still a wreck but I'll get to it eventually. It's funny that I used to make a list of everything I wanted to get done in one day (laundry, vacuuming, changing the bed linens, etc.) and now I'm picking one task per day to try to conquer. Today was laundry, tomorrow I might venture to Wal-Mart (might being the key word in this phrase).

I have been fever-free for 24 hours now (well, if you consider 100 fever-free, which I do now). I have not thrown up for 2 days and I am down to taking a quarter of a tablet of phenergan...just enough to settle my stomach without knocking me out. Did I mention that I despise Sprite now? And orange Jello is getting old?

And guess what...Coke still tastes bad. Not sure why I ever liked it to begin with. Just wish that someone could have pointed this out without me having to get mono to kick the Coke habit. So sad, Coca-Cola will probably go bankrupt without my support!

Now if I could get rid of the ever-present throbbing headache (probably from not drinking a 6-pack of Coke everyday), I'd be on the upswing. Hopefully another good night's rest and I'll wake up headache free--trying to be optimistic.
