One trip to the hospital later...

The joys of fever. In this case, a fever of 104.3 by the time I made it to the hospital around midnight.

I'm feeling MUCH better now though. They pumped about 2l of fluids into me, and doped me up on tylenol. =^.^=

Eeeep o.O

yeowch, I think the highest a human can take is like 105, too close for comfort!

I didnt know that one COULD get doped on tylenol :P

Actually I've had noticably higher before.

When I was younger, I've hit 107, and the 106's repeatedly.

And when you have a fever that high, and are so dehydrated from sweating in your sleep for the last 6 hours until you woke up and called a house-mate on their cell phone with your own because it's the only thing you could physically lift at the time... and suddenly feel like stretching, bouncing a little, are clear-headed, and don't feel like your eyeballs are boiling out of their sockets...

Yeah, I'd call that happily doped up, comparing it to my previous times on morphine when I broke my arm, and similair narcotics I've been prescribed over the years. =^.^=

Sounds like the same thing nolly has had for the past two days. I've been bringing her ice water every few hours, and occasional snacks, and the rest of the time she's been sound asleep, or occasionally propping herself up a little to read for a few minutes. Poor kid.

Unfortunately, I think it's my turn to come down with it next, and I don't have the option of staying in bed until I feel better. Bah.

Glad you're recovering, though. Yay Tylenol!

That about sums it up, yeah.

I think letting my body slow-roast like that though kicked the virus in the shins something fierce though. I've always been one to tough things out as long as I could, and let the fever get as high as I felt comfortable. This time, unlike all the others, I didn't stay hydrated enough though, so I get a trip to the ER. =^.^=

All I know is that the virus seems to be on a sharply-noticable retreat now, so I'm feeling vastly more perky. :-)
