    ugh, i'm sick - thank god for ketosis!

    I got such a sore throat yesterday by mid-day it was horrible, and by the end of the day it had gotten 10 times worse and a fever was coming on. the crappy part is i spend my days troubleshooting computers and printers over the phone so i have to talk all day long. i should've gone home early, but wanted to minimise the lost time. i was in agony by the end of the day and i couldn't eat my lunch at all. i got through 2 of my venison sausages and a half cup of jicama and that's all i could get down. i drank tons and tons of lemon tea which helped. at the end of my shift i had to wait a half hour for my husband to be done his shift and i dozed at my desk. he got me home and i slept in the car then 12 hours solid till this morning. at least the fever seems to have subsided into merely a headache now, but my throat is still sore. and i'm staying home today too since i still feel like crap and my kid is also sick. well at least we can rest today, but i don't think i can manage the gym today. i missed my step/weights class last night too which sucked. oh well, at least the scale dropped from 234 to 228.5 overnight! thank god for ketosis!

      Chicken soup, chicken soup and more chicken soup. Make some the next time that your well and sick it in the freezer. Vitamin C also keeps the kooties away.
      You might also want to go see if its strep as only antibiotics will help that.
      Hope you are feeling better soon. Being sick isn't fun.

                Hello Shade,

                Sorry to hear you are so sick. Staying in bed and drinking fluids will help. I spent two days in bed with a cold myself this week. Unlike you, my body bloated up so I'm still waiting for a whooshie. Sent her my way if you see her again...

                  I think my boisterous puppy must've chased the whoosie fairy all around! I hope she'll come back soon, since i missed her while i slept!

                        I got a couple bunless venison burgers into me today and didn't feel naseous after eating them! My head still hurts but i was able to take the puppy outside and play fetch for about 20 minutes before i got too cold. i'll be heading back to work on monday and starting getting the house all ready for christmas this weekend.

                        the family is arriving on friday so there's gonna be lots to do for that. i keep reminding my mother we're doing low carb since i was telling her about the venison mincemeat we are making this week and she said 'oh! you could get or i could bring those little pre-made tart shells!' and i reminded her again saying oh we have a low carb version of those now.

                        We're doing dinner at the brother and sister in-law's this weekend and next for christmas, so i'm gonna make some low-carb stuff and bring it. that way i won't even remotely be tempted by the potatoes or pasta.
