See, now, if I were healthy I'm sure I could've found an appropriate House quote for a subject

I went missing the past few days because I've been sick, and not in the "hand me some tissues and a couple of Tylenol" sort of way but in the feverish, voiceless, head-explodey, "hand me another box of tissues and three kinds of drugs and oh my God, my skin hurts" sort of way. I am feeling much better today, though, if still not healthy. I now seem to be able to sit up and open both eyes with the light on and think and type for several minutes at a time, so I expect to go back to work for a few hours tomorrow, since I haven't been in since Thursday morning. Which, incidentally, makes this weekend the longest vacation I've had since July, and the only vacation I've had since New Year's, which just sort of figures.

Went to the doctor today for some tests; unfortunately, while he's marvelous and knowledgeable and will no doubt have a definitive diagnosis by Wednesday, he will probably be unable to tell me whether this was my body's twisted way of telling me I needed to take a break. Because that's what I've done for five days: absolutely nothing. The most I managed to do was watch a little TV (one day I will write about how much I love "The Return Part I" and "The Tao of Rodney," and how absolutely ludicrous a way that was for [spoiler] to [spoiler] in "Sunday," but I will say now that I watched Stargate for the first time since becoming an SGA fan and laughed at the throwaway line where a heckler at Jackson's lecture asks whether the pyramids were built by men from Atlantis) and read some fic and nap a lot, and also clutch my head while cursing the evolutionary processes that led to the development of sinuses.

So. Just as an FYI, post-House post not looking likely tomorrow.

Annnnnd... back to a dim room to listen to the baseball game.

Hey there, glad you're alive *g*. I spent most of Sunday in bed with what I thought was food poisoning, but in light of subsequent developments was probably some kind of transient stomach flu. Although I think that fits rather more into your first category of sleep and Panadol. Obviously, I was more or less fine by Monday ;)

I hope you feel better soon! Ah, you probably needed the break anyway :)

Oh, ick, stomach flu or food poisoning. And that's on the heels of a cold? What an unfortunate week.

I'm feeling almost entirely like myself today, thanks, and I'm starting on some antibiotics to try to shake off the lingering sinus infection. TMI perhaps. The break was great, except for being-sick part; I was so relaxed going back in yesterday! Of course, by 11 a.m. my leg was jouncing like Wilson's on speed, and by today I was ready to punch someone in the face again. It was kind of funny to watch it progress (regress) like that.
